In the evening, they draw rangoli kolams in front of the house and also place
some lamps on it. The earthen lamps ( Agal ) are placed in the pooja and
lighted. Then the Deeparathana is done and the lamps are moved to different
places in the house.
The beautiful lamps are arranged near the doors, windows
and also in the balconies in rows. In this way, we celebrate Karthigai Deepam
festival for three days.
The lighted lamps looks divine and auspicious. It is believed
to ward off evil forces and wish us prosperity and joy.
This festival is celebrated in
special manner in Thiruvannamalai. Lord Shiva takes the form of a Jyothi (
light of fire ) on the hill of Thiruvannamalai. So, this festival is also known
as Annamalai Deepam.
Here, in the evening a special torch is lighted on the top
of the hill and it is believed that Lord Shiva’s jyothi will be visible on this
day. Hindu devotees visit this temple, to pray and offer Lord Shiva.
