Significance Of Kali Puja
It is believed that performing Kali Puja destroys negative energies and brings harmony and prosperity into one’s life. The festival is celebrated with great devotion across West Bengal, Odisha, and Assam, and in several parts of North India as well. In many regions, Kali Puja coincides with the night of Diwali, making it a spiritually charged celebration of light conquering darkness.
How Kali Puja Is Celebrated
There is a common belief that Kali Puja is performed only by those involved in Tantra practices, but this is a misconception. Anyone can perform the worship of Goddess Kali at home with devotion, chanting mantras and following traditional rituals.
During the puja, offerings (bhog) such as fruits, sweets, fish, meat, and lentils are presented to Goddess Kali. The festival is celebrated with grandeur, especially in Kolkata and Guwahati, where temples and homes are adorned with lights, and devotional chants echo through the night.
