Narak Chaturdashi is also known as Narak Chaudas, Kali Chaudas. Mother Kali, Yamdev and Lord Shri Krishna are worshiped on this day. It is believed that lighting a lamp in the name of Gods and Goddesses on this day removes a person’s fear. Besides, negative and dark powers also get destroyed by burning in this lamp. Like Diwali, there is a tradition of lighting lamps in all the temples on Narak Chaudas. People who do Tantra Sadhana on the night of Narak Chaudas and Aghori attain Siddhis by worshiping Maa Kali. It is said that at this time Mother Kali is in her most powerful form. But do you know that there are some temples in the country where entry of common people is banned as soon as the evening falls. During this period only Aghori can enter the temple. So let us know which are those temples…
