Karthika Pournami 2025 Sacred Temples Worldwide – Divine Journeys Illuminated by Eternal Flames & Devotional Legends
November 4, 2025 As twilight drapes the sky in velvet hues and the full moon of Kartik rises on November 5 at 5:11 PM IST, the world awakens to Karthigai Pournami 2025 – the luminous Kartik Purnima that unites hearts across continents in a celestial symphony of light, devotion, and grace.
Purnima Tithi: 10:36 PM (Nov 4) → 8:19 PM (Nov 5) Moonrise: 5:11 PM (Nov 5) – the moment to light your first diya!
Born from Lord Murugan’s six divine sparks, Vishnu’s Matsya Avatar, and Shiva’s fiery triumph over Tripurasura, this holy night transforms temples into portals of purification, prosperity, and moksha.
At Hindutone, we invite you on a soul-stirring pilgrimage – from India’s ancient flames to diaspora shrines echoing ancestral songs.
Let the eternal flame kindle your inner light. Jai Shiva Shankara! Jai Muruga! Hari Om!
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The Divine Genesis: Legends That Bind Eternity Immerse in timeless tales from the Skanda, Vishnu & Shiva Puranas:
