Dev Diwali 2024: Although the festival of Diwali starts from Dhanteras and is considered to end on Bhai Bij, but after a few days of Diwali, Dev Diwali is celebrated and only after that the festival of Diwali is considered to end. Devdiwali has special significance in Hindu religion. This festival of Devdiwali is celebrated on Kartik Sud Purnima. Let us know about the importance of Diwali and donating lamps in it…
Why is Dev Diwali celebrated?
According to mythology, a powerful demon named Tripurasura worshiped Brahma to enhance his powers and make him invincible by any god, demon, sage or human. Lord Brahma was pleased with his penance and blessed him. A demon named Tripurasura took over heaven to harass the gods who had received boons. Therefore, troubled by his terror, the gods went to Mahadev for help.
Lord Shiva listened to the prayers of the gods and fought with Tripurasura and killed the demon named Tripurasura on the day of Kartak Sud Poonam. All the Gods and Goddesses were pleased with the death of Tripurasura and came to Kashi and celebrated by lighting lamps. Shivaji’s victory was also celebrated.
Therefore, Dev Diwali is celebrated with great enthusiasm and gaiety every year in Kashi on the day of Kartik Purnima. According to religious scriptures, one’s wishes are fulfilled by donating a lamp after bathing in the Ganga on Diwali. Therefore donating lamps on this day is important.
