It is celebrated on the full moon day of the Kaarthigai month which coincides with Karthikai star. It is celebrated in a special manner in Thiruvannamalai.In Hindu Puranam there is a story for this religious festival. Lord Shiva asks Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu to find out the exact location of his head and his feet. Since Lord Shiva takes a gigantic form, they are not able to find out anywhere. Then Lord Shiva takes the form of a large light of fire on the hill of Thiruvannamali. Here, a special torch is lighted on the zenith of the hill and it is believed that Lord Shiva's form of light will be visible on this day.

3 On this day, people clean the houses. In the evening, they draw kolams (rangoli) in the front of the house and also place some lamps on it. The lamps (Agal) are placed in the pooja and lighted. Then the Deeparathana is done in which the lamps are moved to different places in the house. The lamps glow all over the streets on this day. The lamps are arranged near the doors and windows and also in the balconies. In this way Hindus celebrate Kaarthigai Deepam for three days.
