New Delhi. Diwali is celebrated all over the country. Everyone has started preparations for Diwali in full swing. The festival of Narak Chaturdashi is celebrated just a day before Diwali. It is celebrated in different ways in different parts of the country. Narak Chaturdashi is also known as Narak Chaudas, Kali Chaudas. Maa Kali, Yamdev and Lord Krishna are worshiped on this day. It is believed that by lighting a lamp in the name of deities on this day, one’s fear is removed. Along with this, negative and black energies are also destroyed by burning in this lamp. Like Diwali, there is a tradition of lighting lamps in all the temples on Narak Chaudas too. On the night of Narak Chaudas, people who practice Tantra and Aghori get siddhis by worshiping Maa Kali. It is said that at this time Mata Kali is in her most powerful form.
