Thirukarthigai Deepam 2022..! Lighting timings..!
Karthigai Day which falls in the month of Karthigai is a festival celebrated by Tamils more critically than other Karthigai days. In the evening they celebrate by lighting lamps outside the houses and in the courtyards. The Deepam festival is held in temples on Karthigai day. Devotees worship by lighting lamps. In front of the temple, a banana tree is planted and surrounded by palm fronds and the "Sokkapanai" is set on fire to make it appear in the form of Jodhi and worshipers remember the scene in which Lord shiva appeared as Jodhi. They worship by decorating the houses with lamps and floating the houses in a flood of light.
