Chhoti Diwali History and Significance

Chhoti Diwali or Naraka Chaturdashi is celebrated in different ways in different regions of India. As per the legend, a demon called Narakasur had kept 16,000 girls hostage. Lord Krishna defeated him and rescued all of them. The girls were afraid of embarrassment and being socially abhorred. So they sought help from Krishna. Understanding their problem, Krishna and his wife then decided that Krishna will marry all 16,000 of them and the world will know them as his wives. However, there are many other mythological stories that are associated with the celebration of Chhoti Diwali. Another mythological legend says the gods feared that King Bali is becoming too powerful, so Lord Vishnu disguised himself as a sage and asked him to give three-foot-pace of space on his kingdom. However, the Lord claimed the world (Mrityuloka) and the heavens (Swargloka) in just two paces. And then he asked for King Bali’s head to keep his foot down for the 3rd time. This is how Lord Vishnu conquered all the three and overthrown King Bali.
