General Karthika practice (regional)

In the Telugu and Kannada states, Karthika Masam is kept with an early-morning bath, a lamp lit at sunset each evening, Shiva worship on the Mondays and Tulasi worship at home; Karthika Pournami is the night of many lamps at temples. How any one village keeps the month is for its residents to tell — nothing below is claimed about this village in particular.
