This season Karthigai Deepam falls on 25th November 2015..Karthigai Deepam may be the popular festival of southern a part of India & may be the earliest festival with splendid & elaborated celebrations all around the condition of Tamil Nadu. The festival can also be referred to as “Festival of Lights” & can also be considered the extension of Diwali Festival.
Based on Tamil calendar the festival falls within the Tamil month of Karthigai. Karthigai Deepam is well known around the full moon day's the Karthigai month which coincides using the Krithigai Star. The name Karithigai of the month seemed to be derived based on the specific star Krithigai. The month of Karthigai is of special importance because it is thought that Lord Muruga, the divine light of Lord Shiva, required his form in this month.
It's thought that Lord Shiva required a huge form & made an appearance by means of a flaming light whose ends can't be defined around the hill of Thiruvannamalai. Therefore, this festival is also referred to as Annamalai Deepam. Additionally that, Lord Muruga required the type of six babies inside a lake known as &"Saravana Poigai&"&...Special Poojas are carried out to Lord Muruga on valentine's day:)
The homes are superbly decorated with stunning illuminations & multihued ‘Kolams’ or Rangoli. People place lamps or Agal within their puja room & put them at different places in the home following the completing ‘Deeparathana’ (puja). Crackers may also play vital role about this festival. Its is nice to light agal vizhakku compared to candle lights/ fancy ones. In this manner, people of Tamil Nadu celebrate Karthigai Deepam for 3 days.
