Karthika Masam 2026 · 10 Nov – 9 Dec 2026
Karthika Masam 365 Deepam Seva
Light a sacred 365 cotton wicks pure cow ghee deepam (365 Vattula Deeparadhana) dedicated on behalf of you and your family before Lord Sri Kapileswara Swamy at the prestigious Sri Kapila Theertham Temple in Tirupati. Temple priests offer sincere prayers for your family's well-being and wishes, with daily photo updates of the lit deepam sent directly to your WhatsApp.
What is 365 Deepam (365 Vattula Deeparadhana)?
In Sanatana Dharma, lighting a deepam (lamp) during the holy month of Karthika Masam is described in the Puranas as the most sacred of all good deeds. Among all deepams, the 365 Vattula Deepam (365 Cotton Wicks Ghee Lamp) holds supreme spiritual significance.
A bundle of exactly 365 pure cotton wicks is prepared, immersed generously in pure cow ghee, placed in a traditional sacred earthen or brass deepam, and lit while chanting sacred Shiva mantras. Each wick represents one day of the Hindu solar/lunar year.
The Puranic Promise of 365 Deepam:
If someone was unable to light a lamp every single day of the year due to travel, illness, work, or routine difficulties, lighting a 365 wicks ghee lamp during Karthika Masam bestows the full divine merit (Sampurna Punya Phalam) of having performed daily deeparadhana without missing a single day for all 365 days of the year!
What We Do on Behalf of You & Your Family
You do not need to worry about sourcing pure cow ghee, rolling 365 cotton wicks, or traveling to Tirupati. Our dedicated temple seva team will perform the complete authentic ritual in the holy sanctum of Kapila Theertham:
Prestigious Sri Kapila Theertham Temple — History & Sacred Sthala Purana
The Only Shiva Temple in the Holy City of Tirupati · Foot of Tirumala Hills
Nestled at the picturesque foothills of the sacred Seshachalam hills in Tirupati, Sri Kapileswara Swamy Temple (Kapila Theertham) is an ancient and extremely prestigious Shaivite pilgrimage center managed under the sacred Tirupati tradition.
The Legend of Sage Kapila Maharshi: According to the Skanda Purana, the great sage Kapila Maharshi—an avatar of Lord Vishnu—performed intense penance (tapasya) here to appease Lord Shiva. Deeply pleased with the sage's devotion, Lord Shiva self-manifested (Swayambhu) from Patala Loka to this spot, accompanied by His divine consort Goddess Sri Kamakshi Devi. The sacred Lingam was worshipped by Kapila Maharshi and thus became eternally known as Sri Kapileswara Lingam.
The Sacred Holy Waterfall (Kapila Gundam): The holy mountain waters flow directly from the peaks of Tirumala Hills and plunge as a magnificent waterfall into the temple pushkarini right next to the sanctum. Bathing in and offering lamps by this holy pool is considered one of the highest spiritual blessings in all of Andhra Pradesh.
🌕 Karthika Masam Mahatyam at Kapila Theertham:
The Skanda Purana proclaims that during the sacred Karthika Masam, especially on Karthika Pournami and the Karthika Somavarams (Mondays), all holy waters and theerthams across the three worlds (Akasha Ganga, Bhogavati, Ganga, Yamuna, Godavari) converge into Kapila Theertham at midday. Lighting a 365 wicks deepam here brings the divine grace of both Lord Shiva (Kapileswara), Goddess Kamakshi, and Lord Sri Venkateswara Swamy.
Divine Spiritual & Life Benefits of 365 Deepam
