The Hindu festival of Kali Puja honours the Goddess Kali. During the Diwali festival, Kali Puja is performed on the new moon day. This year the puja is on October 25. While most people in India worship Goddess Lakshmi on Amavasya Tithi, the most important day of Diwali, people in West Bengal, Orissa, and Assam worship Goddess Kali on the new moon day.

Diwali and Kali Puja are usually celebrated on the same day, but in some years, Kali Puja may occur one day before Diwali Puja. According to Hindu beliefs, the day when Amavasya prevails at midnight is considered for Kali Puja, while the day when Amavasya prevails during Pradosh is considered Lakshmi Puja.

The most important day to worship Goddess Lakshmi in West Bengal, Orissa, and Assam is the full moon day in the lunar month Ashwin. Kojagara Puja, also known as Bengal Lakshmi Puja, is performed on Purnima Tithi in the month of Ashwin.

Shyama Puja is another name for Kali Puja.
