Kartik Purnima
Also known as: Dev Diwali, Tripuri Purnima
Dates follow the Indian calendar (IST). If you’re outside India, your local temple may observe a day earlier or later for tithi-based festivals.
The full moon of Kartik is not just astronomical fullness - it represents the fullness of spiritual possibility. Today, gods descend to earth, reminding us that the divine is not distant - it's here, now, waiting to be recognized.
