Karthigai Deepam is mainly celebrated by Tamil Hindus. It is one of the oldest festivals celebrated. Houses and streets are lit up with rows of oil lamps or Deepam in the evening of the festival day.
Karthigai Deepam takes its name from Nakshatra Karthikai or Krittika. Karthigai Deepam is performed on the day when Krittika Nakshatra is prevailing. Karthigai Deepam is done in honor of Lord Shiva.
