Yama Deepam 2022 Kannada calendar information belongs to a past Deepavali season. This archive records the dates and traditional south-facing lamp custom, so readers can distinguish two 2022 calendar listings. Because it is historical, it is not a guide to this year’s pooja time.
2022 archive only: Many Dhanteras-based calendars marked Yama Deepam on Saturday, 22 October 2022. Meanwhile, a Bengaluru panchang listed Yama Deepa Daana on Monday, 24 October 2022. These dates should not be reused for another year.

Yama Deepam 2022 Kannada Calendar at a Glance
| 2022 calendar entry | Historical detail |
|---|---|
| Yama Deepam on Dhanteras evening | Saturday, 22 October 2022 |
| Krishna Paksha Trayodashi | About 6:02 PM, 22 October to 6:03 PM, 23 October (IST) |
| Yama Deepa Daana in a Bengaluru calendar | Monday, 24 October 2022 |
| Traditional lamp direction | South, according to family custom |
| Lamp-lighting period | Evening twilight; not the entire tithi interval |
The 22 October entry appears in Drik Panchang’s historical day calendar. The 24 October label also appears in myPanchang’s October 2022 calendar for Bengaluru. Therefore, the two entries should not be merged into one nationwide muhurat.
Yama Deepam 2022 Kannada: Why Two Dates Appear
The Dhanteras-associated Yama Deepam fell on 22 October 2022 in commonly used festival listings. Yet the Bengaluru myPanchang calendar labels Yama Deepa Daana on 24 October, alongside Naraka Chaturdashi. The difference reflects calendar labelling and observance traditions, so readers should identify which custom a historical source describes.
Yama Deepam, Yamadeepdaan and Yama Deepa Daana all refer to offerings of light associated with Lord Yama. However, a household’s specific lamp observance may follow Dhanatrayodashi or a Chaturdashi-linked tradition. Kannada-speaking families should therefore not assume that every festival list uses the same name or date.
This page retains its original 22 October date because it described the Dhanteras-evening practice. It now records the Bengaluru alternative instead of concealing the discrepancy.
What Did the 2022 Trayodashi Timings Actually Mean?
The often-copied interval from about 6:02 PM on 22 October until 6:03 PM on 23 October 2022 describes when Trayodashi tithi prevailed. It does not mean a family had a continuous 24-hour pooja muhurat. That distinction matters because the original article mixed the tithi’s end with lamp-lighting instructions.
In the Dhanteras-associated custom, people traditionally lit Yama Deepam during evening twilight or Pradosh. A clock-time window also depends on the location and the panchang used. Therefore, this archive does not assign a Delhi or other city-specific muhurat to all of Karnataka.
For a historical comparison of Yama Deepam 2022 Kannada dates, the Bengaluru day-by-day panchang displays the tithi transitions. Its festival labels also show why a tithi time and a local observance date are not interchangeable.
Yama Deepam 2022 Kannada: Direction and Lamp Custom
The traditional Yama Deepam lamp faces south, the direction Hindu custom associates with Lord Yama. Families often set a small oil lamp outside the entrance or in another safe spot facing south. Exact placement and prayers vary, so household tradition takes priority over any universal checklist.
- Choose a stable, heat-safe place before lighting the diya.
- Fill a clay lamp with a suitable lamp oil and position the wick securely.
- Light it in the evening according to the family’s chosen Yama Deepam custom.
- Place it towards the south if that matches the family’s practice.
- Offer a short prayer to Lord Yama; no lengthy Lakshmi Puja sequence is required for this simple lamp offering.
Keep flames away from curtains, dry decorations, children and pets. Also, do not leave a burning diya unattended. These are basic fire precautions, not ritual requirements.
The King Hima Legend Behind Yama Deepam
A popular traditional story tells of King Hima’s son, whose early death a prediction foretold. His wife kept lamps alight and told stories through the night. In the legend, the light and wakefulness prevented Yama, appearing as a serpent, from taking her husband.
The story also helps explain why some families offer a lamp in Yama’s name. Devotees associate the act with prayers for long life and protection. These are religious beliefs rather than proven guarantees about health or lifespan.
ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ: 2022 ಯಮ ದೀಪದ ಮಾಹಿತಿ
- ಧನತ್ರಯೋದಶಿ ಯಮ ದೀಪ: ಶನಿವಾರ, 22 ಅಕ್ಟೋಬರ್ 2022.
- ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಪಂಚಾಂಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಯಮ ದೀಪ ದಾನ: ಸೋಮವಾರ, 24 ಅಕ್ಟೋಬರ್ 2022.
- ದೀಪದ ದಿಕ್ಕು: ಸಂಪ್ರದಾಯದ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ದಕ್ಷಿಣ.
- ದೀಪ ಹಚ್ಚುವ ಸಮಯ: ಸಂಜೆ; ಸ್ಥಳೀಯ ಪಂಚಾಂಗ ಮತ್ತು ಮನೆಯ ಆಚರಣೆಯನ್ನು ಅನುಸರಿಸಿ.
This short Kannada summary therefore preserves the historical distinction. It does not set a new festival date or a fixed muhurat for future years.
Use Current Guides Instead of the 2022 Calendar
Use this Yama Deepam 2022 Kannada archive only when checking older festival dates or reading about the custom. For a later year, the lunar tithi and local sunset must be checked again. A 2022 tithi ending cannot serve as a present-day lamp time.
For current information, read Temples Map’s Yama Deepam 2026 date and direction guide and Balipadyami 2026 Karnataka guide. The site’s Diwali 2026 calendar also explains the wider festival sequence. Those are updated guides despite their older URL slugs.
2022 Archive: The Key Distinction
The original Yama Deepam 2022 Kannada post’s 22 October date has historical support. However, Bengaluru’s 24 October Yama Deepa Daana listing deserves a separate note. Most importantly, neither date supplies a muhurat for a later year. Check the calendar used by your family and the location it covers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Was Yama Deepam in 2022 on 22 October?
Yes. The Dhanteras-linked Yama Deepam appeared on Saturday, 22 October 2022 in widely used listings, including Drik Panchang. That is also the date the original article covered. However, a different Karnataka festival calendar can use the Yama Deepa Daana label for a later observance.
Why does a Bengaluru calendar show 24 October 2022?
The Bengaluru myPanchang calendar places Yama Deepa Daana on Monday, 24 October 2022, beside Naraka Chaturdashi. This differs from the Dhanteras-evening Yama Deepam listing for 22 October. When comparing old dates, check the source’s observance name and local tradition rather than treating both listings as identical.
Was 6:02 PM on 22 October to 6:03 PM on 23 October the pooja time?
No. Those times describe the start and end of Trayodashi tithi in commonly published 2022 calculations. They do not describe a lamp that must burn throughout that interval. Instead, the evening lamp custom follows twilight or a local Pradosh-based time.
Which direction should the Yama Deepam lamp face?
South is the traditional direction associated with Lord Yama, so many households use it for the Yama Deepam lamp. However, exact placement can vary by family custom. Fire safety still comes first: use a firm surface and keep the flame clear of cloth and busy walkways.
Is Lakshmi Puja part of the Yama Deepam lamp offering?
No lengthy Lakshmi Puja sequence is necessary for the simple Yama Deepam lamp practice described here. Diwali includes several distinct observances, including Lakshmi worship. The old article mixed those instructions together, so this archive separates the Yama lamp custom from a full Lakshmi and Ganesha puja.
Does Yama Deepam require a priest or online booking?
The simple household lamp offering does not require an online booking through Temples Map. Many families observe it at home using their inherited method. If your tradition has a special prayer, ask a trusted family elder or priest. This independent site does not arrange paid rituals.
Can I use the 2022 Yama Deepam timings this year?
No. The 2022 dates and tithi times belong to that year’s lunar calendar. Later years can have different dates and sunset-based evening windows. Use the site’s current Yama Deepam and Deepavali guides, and confirm your city’s calendar rather than copying this archive’s timing.
