Shubh muhurat in Rajkot
Rahu Kaal — avoid12:30 PM – 1:54 PM
The tradition names no separate muhurat for this festival — it is observed through the day. Abhijit is the day’s generally auspicious window and Rahu Kaal the one to avoid.
Kartik Purnima, the full moon of Kartik, is kept as Dev Diwali — "the Diwali of the gods" — and as Tripuri Purnima, marking Shiva’s destruction of the three cities of Tripurasura. It is also observed as Guru Nanak Jayanti.
How it is observed
The ghats at Varanasi are lined with lamps at dusk. Ritual bathing in rivers at dawn and lamp-floating in the evening are the day’s common observances.
