The day
The month of Kartik closes: the last of the Kartik snan baths at dawn, lamps floated on rivers, Tripurari Purnima for Shiva, the Pushkar mela, and Gurpurab — Guru Nanak's 558th birth anniversary — with the akhand path ending that morning.
Why the two evenings
Dev Deepawali is a pradosh (dusk) observance and the Purnima holds the dusk of 13 November; the snan and the Gurpurab follow the sunrise rule and fall on the 14th.
