Karthika Masa Vratham

Karthika masam starts on the day after deepavali and ends after 30 days.

Here i am giving the basic rituals we should follow for this month. You can find the detailed vratha vidhanam in karthika puranam book.

1) One should not eat non veg food for the whole month.

2) Must take meal only once per day for the 30 days, we can eat breakfast at nights or atleast we must follow this  on auspicious days like mondays, karthika poornima, koti somavaram etc.

3) Must take shower(including hair) daily.

4) Must light deepam every evening and do pooja.

5) Read one chapter in karthika puranam book everyday. If you don’t have karthika puranam read the story given in the below link daily http://www.teluguone.com/bhakti/shivastutulu/index.jsp?filename=kartika.htm        

It is even good to hear the story if someone is reading it loud

6) Prepare prasadam on mondays , karthika poornima,  koti somavaram and remaining days you can even keep some fruit as prasadam.

    My husband’s family has the tradition of performing “Karthika nommulu”. I vaguely remember MIL giving me directions about it when I visited her last year. Coming to think of it now, I do not remember what to do. Do you know the details of the pooja?

    thanks

    Hi,

    I just wanted to know the reason behind this ritual. I thought of reading the story in the link provided, but unfortunately it is in Telugu, which I can’t read. So do you know a link where I can read the story in English? If so please pass it on to me.

    Thanks

      Karthika Masam starts on 19-Oct-2009 ~ 16-Nov-2009.
      One more significance of Karthika Masam is people perform Skanda Shashti Vratam in Karthika Masam to have children.
