Pournima
Tripurasura (Sanskrit: त्रिपुरासुर) is a trio of asura brothers named Tarakaksha, Vidyunmāli and Kamalaksha, who were the sons of the asura Tarakasura. These three began to perform severe tapasya. They were then granted boons by Brahma to have three forts: gold, silver, and iron, which angered the Devas. Vishnu then made a new religion to make them evil, and the objective of killing the asuras was taken upon by Lord Shiva, which took three days on the battlefield, finally killing Tripurasura and destroying the three cities. This occurred on the full moon day in the
Kartik month and therefore the day is celebrated as Tripurari Pournima.

On the way, He met the mountain-asura, Krowncha, who was entrapping and killing innocent passers-by. With one throw of his Vel, Lord Subrahmanya, ended the cruel pastime of the wicked wretch.
The destruction of Krowncha, one of the lieutenants of Tarakasura, infuriated the latter, and he came raging to Lord Shanmukha. He had the Sudarsana Chakra of Lord Vishnu dangling around his neck as a token of his having defeated Lord Vishnu!
In the grim fight that ensued, Tarakasura employed all the known tactics of warfare and used innumerable missiles against the army of the Devas battling under the generalship of Lord Subrahmanya. But to his utter disappointment and dismay, no missile had any effect on Him, and, what was disastrous to him, none returned to the sender, as it was the wont heretofore. Having failed with every other weapon, Taraka took up the Pasupatastra, which he had wrested from Lord Siva and sent it in due form against Lord Karttik. The latter, meditating with concentration upon the glories of his Father, calmly received the Astra and kept it aside.
This unexpected finale filled the Asura with dread and a sense of helplessness. At last the Lord despatched his Vel, and Tarakasura, the younger brother of Surapadma, was killed. Tarakasura then became elephant served Hari-Hara-Putra as his Vahana
