Explanation:
India is a land of festivals and here every festival is celebrated with much warmth and joy. As per the Hindu calendar, Kartika is the eighth lunar month. It is also the holiest month among all lunar months and it is also called Kartik Purnima or Kartik Poornima. As per Indian mythology, the celebrations of Kartik Purnima begin on the day of Prabodhini Ekadashi. As per experts, in some parts of the country, Kartika Purnima is also known as Tripuri Purnima or Tripurari Purnima. In the Vaishnava tradition, Kartik month is referred to as Damodara month. Damodara is one of the many names of Lord Krishna.
Ekadashi falls on the eleventh day and Purnima is observed on the fifteenth day of Kartika month, hence, Kartika Purnima is celebrated for five days.
The 5-day festivities of Kartik Purnima are celebrated in the form of Tulsi Vivah, Bhishma Panchaka, Vaikunth Chaturdashi, and Dev Diwali. On the day of Sharad Purnima during Kartik month, the ritual of holy dip begins and it ends on Kartik Purnima. On this day, devotees gather in large numbers at Haridwar and Benaras ghats to take the holy dip, perform aarti and seek the blessings of Lord Vishnu.
