In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Dīpāvalyutsava (दीपावल्युत्सव) is the name of a festival celebrated during the month of Āśvayuja (i.e., the months of October-November), as discussed in chapter 27 of the Puruṣottamasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text consisting of more than 1800 verses devoted to temple-building and the practical concerns of the Pāñcarātra priestly community.—Description of the chapter [saṃvatsarotsava-vidhi]: Bhagavān says that the (liturgical) year starts with the vasanta season. On the first day of this—to satisfy the deity who is guardian of that period—the vasantotsava festival is celebrated (1-3). [...] In “āśvayuja” month [October-November], Vīralakṣmī is to be honored by a nine-day festival during the nights (22-25); and this is followed on the tenth day evening by the vijayadaśami-utsava festivities (25b-30). In the same month dīpāvalyutsava is to be done after having celebrated the night before the death of Naraka (31-36).
Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pāñcarātra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.
