Celebrated on the fourteenth tithi of the Kartik Krishna Paksha is Naraka Chaturdashi or Chhoti Diwali, which falls on November 3 this year. The second day in the five day festivity of Diwali, Naraka Chaturdashi is the day the evil asura king Narakasura was slayed.

The story of Narakasur

The son of Bhudevi and Lord Varaha (an incarnation of Vishnu), Narakasura was an arrogant, evil and greedy demon who wreaked havoc across all three worlds. He was blessed with a boon from Lord Brahma: That no one except his mother, Bhudevi, could kill him. He believed the boon guarded him from death, and in consequence made him immortal. Having no fear of death, his arrogance reached the point where he attacked Lord Krishna himself.

However, Krishna’s consort Satyabhama, who was an incarnation of Bhudevi, slayed the evil Naraksura. Before breathing his last, Narakasura pleaded to Satyabhama for forgiveness, took her blessings and requested that his end be celebrated by lighting lamps.
