In the Vaishnava tradition, the Kartik month is also referred to as Damodar month, named after one of Lord Krishna's epithets, Damodar. Kartik Purnima is celebrated as Dev Deepawali and marks the fifteenth lunar day of the Hindu month of Kartik. The festival is associated with Prabodhini Ekadashi, which signifies the conclusion of Chaturmas, a four-month period when Lord Vishnu is believed to be in a state of divine slumber.
