Kartika Month is considered to be the greatest & sacred month of the year. It is the month which acknowledges the maximum number of festivals. During this month all the pious Hindus refrain themselves from eating non-veg like Egg, Fish, Meat, etc. The last five days of Kartika month are considered more sacred in which there is wide participation. Taken together the days are called 'Panchuka', the last day being the Kartika Purnima. Another festival that takes place in the ?Kartika Purnima? morning is significant to the ancient history of Odisha. People float tiny boats made out of cork and coloured paper or bark of the banyan tree remembering the past glory. This is called "Boita Bandana". The ?Kartik Brata? is concluded on ?Kartik Purnima? day.
