Deepotsav at ISKCON Temples: A Celebration of Light and Devotion During the month of Kartik, devotees also remember Lord Krishna’s Damodara-lila—when Mother Yashoda tied him with a rope, symbolizing his loving relationship with his devotees. Although this leela is not directly connected to Diwali, both are celebrated in the same holy month, highlighting themes of divine love and light.
