One of the most important Hindu holidays, Kartik Purnima is solely devoted to honoring Lord Vishnu. According to Hindu scriptures, Lord Shiva killed the demon Tripurasura, who had terrified the world and the sky, on Kartik Purnima. It is also thought that Lord Vishnu assumed the shape of Matsya on the same day.
Dev Deepawali, Guru Nanak Jayanti, Ganga snan, Deepdan, and Pushkar mela are also celebrated with great majesty and joy on the day of Kartik Purnima. For Hindus, the day is very important from a religious and spiritual standpoint. To perform Deep Daan, many devotees travel to different Ganga Ghats, including Haridwar, Varanasi, Rishikesh, and others. People get up early and then take a holy bath.
Clean the house, visit the temple, and light a diya in front of the statue in order to honor Lord Vishnu. Many devotees visit the Ganga Ghats in Haridwar, Varanasi, Rishikesh, and other holy locations to take a sacred dip in the Ganga River. People participate in a wide range of religious and spiritual activities, such as fasting, charity, donations, yagya, hawan, and satyanarayan vrat.
It is believed to be a favorable day for Lord Vishnu prayers. Devotees light diyas and lights on this auspicious day. As part of their obeisance to the Moon God, devotees must offer Arghya.
