Kartik, the last month of Chaturmas, holds immense religious significance. While Diwali is celebrated on Kartik Amavasya, the festival of Dev Deepawali falls on Kartik Purnima. This auspicious day is dedicated not only to Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu but also to Lord Shiva.

According to Hindu beliefs, Lord Vishnu incarnated as Matsya (the fish) on this day, and Lord Shiva destroyed the demon Tripurasura, earning it the name Tripurari Purnima. It is believed that taking a dip in the Ganga on Kartik Purnima brings the same merit as bathing in the holy waters of the Mahakumbh in Prayagraj.
