🪔✨ Masik Karthigai – Festival of Light January 2026 🌟

📅 27 January 2026 | Tuesday 🙏
Masik Karthigai is a sacred monthly Hindu observance held when the Moon aligns with Karthigai Nakshatra, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness. On this auspicious day, devotees light lamps (deepams) in homes and temples — especially in front of shrines to Murugan, Shiva, Lakshmi, Ganesha, or chosen deities — to invite wisdom, peace, protection & spiritual harmony. 🌙🔥
✨ Astrological Significance ✨
In Vedic astrology, Karthigai Nakshatra is ruled by Agni (fire element) — the cosmic flame of insight, purification, and transformative energy. Lighting lamps during this nakshatra is believed to balance inner fire (Agni Tattva), awaken clarity, dispel ignorance, and align the mind with cosmic rhythms that support emotional balance and spiritual focus. 🌠🕯️
🌿 Meaning & Blessings:
Masik Karthigai reminds us that light is not just physical illumination, but a symbol of knowledge, compassion and inner awakening. It is a moment to cleanse the home, renew devotion, share light with others, and set intentions for peace and harmony in daily life. 🕊️✨

🙏 On this special evening, many perform a small puja, light sesame oil/ghee lamps, offer flowers & prasad, and chant mantras around sunset — creating a serene, prayerful atmosphere. 🪷🕯️
