There are different variations; this track is not completely distorted or fictionalize. There is a popular belief that Narakasura demon was killed by Goddess Kali. HERE it is
Naraka Chaturdashi (also known as Kali Chaudas , Roop Chaudas , Choti Diwali or Naraka Nivaran Chaturdashi ) is a Hindu festival, which falls on Chaturdashi (14th day) of the Krishna Paksha in the Vikram Samvat Hindu calendar month of Ashwin . [1] It is the second day of the five-day-long festival of Diwali . The Hindu literature narrates that the asura (demon)
Narakasura was killed on this day by Krishna ,
Satyabhama and Kali.
The festival is also called as "Kali Chaudas", where Kali means dark (eternal) and Chaudas means fourteenth, this is celebrated on the 14th day of the dark half of Aaso . In some regions of India, Kali Chaudas is the day allotted to the worship of Mahakali or Shakti and is believed that on this day Kali killed the asura (demon) Narakasura . Hence also referred to as Naraka-Chaturdashi, Kali Chaudas is day to abolish laziness and evil which create hell in our life and shine light on life.
