Kārtikī (कार्तिकी) refers to the “month of Kārttika”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.20 (“The celebration of Gaṇeśa’s marriage”).—Accordingly, after Kārttikeya went to the Krauñca mountain: “[...] In the month of Kārttika (kārtikī) [kārtikyāṃ ca sadā], the gods, the holy sages and great ascetics go there to see Kumāra. He who has the vision of the lord in the Kṛttikā Nakṣatra in the month of Kārttika is divested of all sins. He derives all desired fruits. Pārvatī became grief-stricken by separation from Skanda. She piteously told her lord.—‘O lord, let us go there’. [...]”.
