a traditional Hindu calendar followed in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.

Kartika Masam 2009 begins on October 19 and ends on November 16 for Telugu

and Kannada calendars. The month is considered auspicious by both Lord Shiva

and Vishnu devotees.

 

*Importance of Karthika masam*

 

Lord Vishnu goes to sleep on Ashadha suddha ekadashi and wakes-up on

Karthika suddha ekadashi.

Lord Shiva killed Tripurasuras on Karthika pournami and protected the world.

In this month Ganga (Godess of river Ganges) enters in to all rivers,

canals, ponds and wells and makes them as pious as Ganga.

Ayyappa deeksha is also taken in Karthika masam and is continued up to

Makara Sankranthi (Jan 15th)
