Karthigai Deepam is one of the festivals of Tamil Nadu, which falls in the month of Karthigai in the Tamil calendar, which is November to mid-December. This festival is celebrated for ten days in Tamil Nadu, when people wear new clothes, exchange gifts and meet their relatives. It’s known as the Festival of Lights but it’s actually like an extension of Diwali. People believe that this month has special importance as Lord Shiva appeared in Thiruvannamalai Hills. There’s also a fair which is held during this time.
