Kartik Purnima

Today, Jains, Hindus and Sikhs celebrate Kartik Purnima, also known as Deva-Diwali, the festival of lights of the gods. Shiva in his form of Tripurantaka killed Tripurasura on this day. The killing of the demon(s) and destruction of his cities with a single arrow delighted the gods and they declared the day as a festival of illuminations. #mythology #myth #legend #calendar #kartikpurnima #purnima #shiva #tripurasura #devadiwali
