Devotees take river baths, light lamps, perform Tulsi and Vishnu worship, remember Shiva's destruction of Tripurasura, and offer daan. The day is also associated with Guru Nanak Jayanti in many calendars, making it a widely searched and deeply devotional full moon.
Gau Seva on Kartik Purnima completes the month of lamps with living nourishment. Feeding Gaumata on Dev Deepawali honours Krishna, Vishnu, Shiva, and the sacred rivers through one act of compassionate daan. It is a prayer that the light of Kartik remain active as seva.
