The Importance of Karthika Poornima and Tripuri Poornima

Lord Shiva defeated the demon King Tripurasura on Kartik Purnima. This diva was honoured in heaven with lightning diyas. As a result, the day is also known as Deva Diwali.

Today is also Vrinda’s birthday. 

Lord Shiva, the personification of the Tulsi plant, accepted Kartikeya as his son and recognized him as the God of War.

On this day, the eternal love couple Krishna and Radha performed their sacred dance RAAS-LEELA.

The day has been dedicated to the dead ancestors known as Pitrs.
