The second of the five days of Diwali celebrations that begin with Dhanteras is known as Narak Chaudas, Kali Chaudas, Roop Chaudas, Roop Chaturdashi, Naraka Nivaran Chaturdashi, and Bhoot Chaturdashi. The event is celebrated all over India to commemorate Lord Krishna’s victory over the legendary demon king Narakasura.
While this day is known as Choti Diwali in the northern parts of India, it is known as Tamil Deepavali in Tamil Nadu. In West Bengal, the day is known as Bhoot Chaturdashi, which is observed by lighting 14 diyas to honour a family’s 14 forefathers.

Here is wishing you all a very Happy Choti Diwali.
