In the heart of Uttar Pradesh, nestled by the banks of the sacred Ganga, lies Garh Mukteshwar—a place known as “Mukti Dham.” This revered pilgrimage destination, often referred to as Garh Ganga, is a sanctuary for seekers of spiritual peace, where age-old rituals and beliefs come alive, particularly during the auspicious festival of Kartik Purnima. It is here, during this sacred time, that thousands of devotees gather to perform the ritual of Deep Daan—a profound act of devotion that bridges the earthly and divine realms.
Garh Mukteshwar, steeped in history and spirituality, stands as one of the holiest places in India, especially during Kartik Purnima. Hindu mythology associates this place with great significance, marking it as a site where one can attain moksha (liberation) through dedicated prayers and rituals. Pilgrims from across the country flock to this divine location to bathe in the Ganga and participate in the ritual of Deep Daan, seeking the blessings of the river goddess and the attainment of eternal peace for their ancestors.
One of the most revered rituals performed at GarhMukteshwar during Kartik Purnima is the Deep Daan. According to Hindu mythology, offering oil lamps to the holy Ganga at this sacred time carries immense spiritual significance. It is believed that this act of devotion brings blessings, wealth, and fame to those who partake in it. More importantly, it is said to offer salvation not only for the individual but also for their ancestors, freeing them from the cycle of rebirth.
The benefits of Deep Daan are numerous. Hindu scriptures reveal that performing this ritual can bring about the same spiritual merit as performing the Ashwamegh Yagya—one of the most significant and elaborate sacrifices in ancient Vedic tradition. This powerful ritual is believed to purify the soul, granting the devotee divine blessings and paving the way toward liberation.
Kartik Purnima is a day of immense religious importance. It is during this time that the moon is at its fullest, and the energy of the universe is believed to be at its peak, making it the most auspicious time to perform sacred rituals. The combination of the full moon and the Ganga creates a spiritually charged atmosphere, perfect for attaining a deeper connection with the divine. Bathing in the Ganga on this day is believed to wash away sins and past karmas, offering a renewed sense of purity and spiritual growth.
As the sun sets on Kartik Purnima, thousands of flickering diyas (lamps) are set afloat on the river’s surface, creating a mesmerising sight of light and devotion. Each lamp represents a prayer, a wish, or a tribute to loved ones and ancestors who have passed away. This beautiful ritual connects the physical and spiritual worlds, offering peace to the departed souls and invoking divine protection for the living.
Garh Mukteshwar has earned its title of Mukti Dham due to its association with moksha, or liberation. The serene ghats of the Ganga here provide a sacred space where devotees can connect deeply with their faith. It is believed that even a single visit to Garh Mukteshwar during Kartik Purnima can bring a person closer to salvation. The atmosphere of devotion, combined with the natural beauty of the river and the full moon, creates an experience that is not only religious but deeply transformative.
