All Reasons Why Kartik Purnima Is So Auspicious
Here are all the reasons why Kartik Purnima is so auspicious.
Kartik Purnima, which is also called "Tripuri or Tripurari Purnima", is the full moon day of the Kartik month. Kartik Purnima generally falls in the month of November each year. There are numerous legends associated with Kartik Purnima, which prove why Kartik Purnima is so auspicious.
Lord Vishnu And Shiva Descended On Earth

Lord Vishnu Took The Matsya Form
As per one more legend, on the day of Kartik Purnima, Lord Vishnu incarnated as Matsya (or fish) and saved Manu (who was the first man to be alive after the Maha Pralay). This is also a reason why Kartik Purnima is so auspicious.
Kartik Purnima Also Known As Tripuri Purnima
Kartik Purnima is also popularly known as "Diwali of the Gods". It is also well known as "Tripuri Purnima" because Lord Shiva defeated the Tripuri demons on this auspicious day. On this promising day, thousands of devotees visit shrines, bathe in rivers and illuminate lamps.
On this day, Lord Shiva vanquished the Tripuri demons and, hence, people also call it "Tripuri Purnima". It is believed that this is the most favourable day to please Lord Shiva.
Rituals Of Kartik Purnima
