About Karthigai Deepam
Karthigai Deepam is celebrated in the month of Karthigai, around the full moon and the Karthigai star. At dusk, homes and streets are lined with rows of clay lamps. At Tiruvannamalai, the Maha Deepam is lit on top of the Annamalai hill and can be seen for miles. Vishnu temples light their lamps the next day, as Pancharatra Deepam.
