Kartik, also called Damodar Maas, is praised in the Padma and Skanda Puranas as the best of the months. During this period Mother Yashoda tried to bind naughty Krishna to a grinding mortar — and every rope fell two fingers short, until, seeing her love, He let Himself be tied. Dama is the rope, udara the belly: Damodar.
The scriptures say that whoever offers Lord Damodar a ghee lamp with love this month receives His boundless blessings.
