Kartika Brata Puja (କାର୍ତ୍ତିକ ବ୍ରତ ପୂଜା) – A Month of Devotion, Discipline & Divine Grace
🪔 Embrace purity, spirituality, and blessings through the sacred observance of Kartika Masa 🙏
Kartika Brata Puja (କାର୍ତ୍ତିକ ବ୍ରତ ପୂଜା) is one of the holiest month-long observances in Hinduism, especially cherished in Odisha. Dedicated to Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva, Tulsi Mata, and other deities, this brata (vrata) is observed during the Kartika Masa (October–November), a period marked by fasting, early morning rituals, charity, and strict discipline.
Devotees—especially women and widows—observe the brata with deep devotion, lighting lamps (Deepa Dana), offering prayers, and following a pure vegetarian diet for the entire month. Mondays, Ekadashi, and Kartika Purnima are considered highly auspicious.
🕉️ Spiritual Significance of Kartika Brata:
-
Considered the most sacred month in the Hindu calendar
-
Devotees receive blessings equivalent to performing thousands of yajnas and pilgrimages
-
Promotes self-purification, spiritual awakening, and liberation (moksha)
-
Honoring Tulsi Devi, Lord Vishnu, and Lord Shiva ensures divine protection and merit
-
Kartika Purnima marks the auspicious end of the brata, often celebrated with Boita Bandana (ବୈତା ବନ୍ଦାଣ) in Odisha
