The Thrikarthika in ‘Vrischikam’ (November-December) is an auspicious temple festival, also a Hindu festival in which the temple premise or the worship place is adorned with a huge number of oil-lit lamps. The festival is also known as ‘Karthika Vilakku’. The festival falls on the ‘Karthika’ day of Vrischikam.
The festival is celebrated to commemorate the birth of Lord Subramanian or Lord Murukan (Lord Subramanian is also known as ‘Karthikeyan’ means Born in the Karthika Asterism).
The festival is celebrated by adorning the worship place (may be a temple, may be a Thara or may be our own home) with a huge number of oil lit lamps to make the place delicious for eyes. Instead of lamps now the people uses ‘Chirathu’ (a small pot like structure made of mud).
