- Performing Deep Daan on Kartik Purnima is believed to bring peace, positivity, and the removal of negativity from one’s life.

Many followers also observe a fast (vrat) on Kartik Purnima. The vow for fasting is traditionally taken during the Brahma Muhurta, while performing Ganga Snan before sunrise. After completing the sacred bath, devotees worship Lord Ganesha, Lord Shiva, and Goddess Parvati, followed by listening to ritualistic stories and prayers dedicated to Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi.
These practices are believed to bring peace, prosperity, and divine blessings, making Kartik Purnima one of the most spiritually significant days in the Hindu calendar.
