Why the dates differ. In the Purnimanta calendar a month ends on the full moon; in Amanta it ends on the new moon. So Kartik begins about 15 days earlier in North India than in Amanta regions — even though the festivals fall on the same day in both, because they are fixed by tithi.

The significance of Kartik — Lord Vishnu (Damodar)

Kartik is the month of Vishnu, worshipped here as Damodar, and it holds more festivals than any other — Dhanteras, Diwali, Govardhan, Bhai Dooj, Chhath, Tulsi Vivah and Kartik Purnima. It is a month of light: a lamp floated or lit daily (deep-daan) is held to be of the highest merit, and the pre-dawn Kartik snan in a river is the month's defining discipline.

Rituals of Kartik

  • Kartik snan — a pre-dawn holy dip through the month
  • Daily deep-daan (lighting or floating lamps)
  • Tulsi puja every evening and Tulsi Vivah on Ekadashi
  • Damodar-ashtakam recitation
  • Fasting on the two Ekadashis (Devutthana and Kartik)
  • Dev Deepawali on Kartik Purnima at the ghats
