What is Narak Chaturdashi?
Narak Chaturdashi, also Roop Chaudas or Choti Diwali, recalls Krishna's victory over Narakasura. The day begins with an oil bath before dawn (abhyanga snan), and lamps are lit in the evening.
How the date is decided
It is Krishna Chaturdashi at the moonrise before dawn, when the oil bath is taken (Dharma Sindhu); when Chaturdashi covers both dawns, the first is taken. It often shares a day with Diwali.
