About the festival
Kartik Purnima is the full moon of Kartika, about two weeks after Diwali. It closes the month of Kartika, which many families keep as a holy month of early baths, lamps and prayer, and it is one of the great bathing days of the year: pilgrims bathe at dawn in the Ganga and other rivers and float small lamps on the water.
