Author = Sandhaya Rajender Pandey
In Hindu lunar calendars, Kartik is the eighth month of the year. The Hindu calendar is a lunisolar calendar, which means it takes into account both the lunar months and the solar year. Kartik typically falls in October-November of the Gregorian calendar.
Kartik is considered a sacred month in Hinduism, and it holds special significance in various religious practices and festivals. One of the most notable celebrations during this month is the festival of Diwali, also known as Deepavali, which usually occurs on the new moon day (Amavasya) of the Kartik month. Diwali is a major Hindu festival celebrated with lights, fireworks, and prayers, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness and good over evil.
Apart from Diwali, Kartik is also associated with various other religious observances, rituals, and festivals dedicated to different deities across different regions of India. It is considered an auspicious time for performing spiritual activities and charitable deeds.
