Choti Deepavali
|
- The second day (November 13, 2020) is known as Naraka Chaturdasi or Chhoti Diwali (small Diwali). "Naraka" means hell and "Chaturdashi" means 14th day of a lunar fortnight on the Hindu calendar. Goddess Kali and Lord Krishna are believed to have destroyed the demon Narakasura on this day. Demon effigies are burned in Goa in celebration. In 2020, Naraka Chaturdasi overlaps with Amavasya and falls on the same day, on November 14.
