Natural Healing Guide
Karthika Deepam is a festival of lights that is observed by Hindus of Tamil Nadu, Sri Lanka, and Kerala. It falls between mid-November to mid-December it occurs on the day when the moon is in conjunction with the constellation Karthigai (Pleiades) and is also related to Karthik Purnima. It is celebrated with lighting clay lamps around the house. This festival is also celebrated to commemorate the bonding between brothers and sisters in South India(analogous to Bhaiya-Dhuj and Raakhi). Sisters pray for the prosperity and success of their brothers and light lamps to mark the occasion.
Like with all Indian festivals we have specific food offerings made on this occasion too. It is puffed rice(Nel Pori) and puffed poha (Aval Pori)coated in jaggery syrup and shaped into balls. Somewhat like our chikkis in a different shape.
