Karthigai

Krithigai, also known as Krittika or Karthigai, is a significant festival and a monthly observance in Hindu tradition, particularly among Tamil Hindus. It is associated with the worship of Lord Murugan (also known as Kartikeya or Subramanya), the son of Lord Shiva and Parvati.

Krithigai symbolizes devotion, the triumph of good over evil, and the pursuit of divine wisdom and strength. The rituals and observances during this time are meant to invoke the blessings of Lord Murugan for courage, protection, and spiritual growth.

Krithigai is a time for devotees to connect deeply with Lord Murugan, seeking his blessings and guidance. It is a celebration of faith, devotion, and the timeless values that Lord Murugan represents in Hindu tradition.
