Choti Diwali, also known as Naraka Chaturdashi or Kali Chaudas, is celebrated a day before Diwali, the grand festival of lights. This day holds significance as it marks the defeat of the demon Narakasura by Lord Krishna, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. Choti Diwali is celebrated with the same enthusiasm as Diwali but on a smaller scale, with homes being cleaned, decorated, and illuminated with lamps to welcome the festivities.
Hindu mythologies hold that Choti Diwali honors Lord Krishna’s triumph over the demon ruler Narakasura. Eventually Krishna killed Narakasura, who had terrified heaven and earth, therefore releasing the people from his rule. His passing marks the victory of good over evil and the banishing of darkness with light.
Choti Diwali is also known in some areas as Kali Chaudas and is connected with the devotion to Goddess Kali. Devotees worship Goddess Kali on this day to symbolize spiritual cleansing and protection by means of eradication of the negative energy and darkness inside them.
Considered a vital component of the five-day Diwali celebrations is Choti Diwali. Families start their customs of cleaning homes, decorating with diyas, and making sweets, thereby marking the readiness for the major Diwali day. Setting the tone for the broader Diwali festival, this day is about community, prayer, and togetherness.
Light Diyas and Lamps:
As part of the tradition, people light diyas (oil lamps) to drive away darkness and invite positivity. Homes are decorated with rangoli (colorful patterns made on the floor), and families pray together for happiness and prosperity.
Burst Crackers:
In many regions, Choti Diwali is marked by lighting small firecrackers as a symbol of celebration and to ward off evil spirits.
Prepare Sweets:
Families often begin preparations for Diwali by making traditional sweets like laddoos, barfis, and other festive treats. These sweets are later shared with friends and family.
