Hindu festival of Kaarthigai Deepam

Kaarthigai Deepam

Karthigai Deepam is celebrated by lighting lamps in homes and temples, particularly associated with Lord Shiva as an infinite flame of light. The festival is celebrated to honour the concept of divine light (jyoti), which represents knowledge and truth. The significance of Karthigai Deepam lies in its symbolism of removing darkness (ignorance) and bringing spiritual illumination.
