Kartika Day Ritual: Clean Any Temple For Health & Wealth
On November 16th, the day of Kartika, devotees are encouraged to visit the nearest Shiva or Vishnu temple and clean the temple premises with a broom. According to Karthika Mahatyam, cleaning a Shiva temple brings wealth, while cleaning a Vishnu temple leads to positions of authority. This act is believed to help with promotions and community recognition.
