NARAK CHATURDASHI 2016
Celebrated a day after Dhanteras and a day before diwali, Narak Chaturdashi is a festival to cherish the good inside all. According to the hindu legends, Lord krishna along with his wife Satyabhama (the avatar of Bhudevi, the earth goddess and consort of Lord Vishnu) killed Narkasur, the demon and relieved humans from his anguish. The festival is celebrated a day before Amavasya i.e. before Diwali, hence it’s also known as Choti Diwali or Diwali Minor.
Narak Chaudas is celebrated to absolve our vices and flaws, and move towards a happier wellbeing.
