Naraka Chaturdashi, or Choti Diwali, marks Krishna’s killing of the demon Narakasura on the fourteenth of the waning moon in Kartik. In some years it shares a date with Diwali itself.
An oil bath before dawn — the Abhyanga Snan — is the day’s central rite, taken as a washing away of the year’s wrongs. A single lamp is lit for Yama at dusk.
