Choti Diwali, the prelude to the main Diwali celebrations, arrives on October 19, 2025, marking the second day of the joyous five-day festival. Also referred to as Narak Chaturdashi, this occasion highlights the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. It’s a time for families to come together, light earthen lamps (diyas), decorate their homes, and share warm wishes to foster a spirit of joy and optimism.
This auspicious day is steeped in tradition, often celebrated with rituals that signify purification and self-care, such as oil baths. The lighting of diyas is central, believed to dispel negativity and invite blessings of prosperity and peace. The narrative of Lord Krishna’s triumph over Narakasura adds a layer of spiritual significance.
