Kali Puja
By our Culture Correspondent
Kali Puja worships the fierce and protective goddess Kali on the new-moon night around Diwali. Temples and neighbourhoods glow with lamps and devotional gatherings.
“Devotees seek the goddess's protection and strength in overcoming fear and adversity. The night joins solemn worship with a festive display of light.”
