Today I celebrated Diwali with my Hindu and Sikh neighbours in Canada. Every Diwali, they invite us out to celebrate with them, and here after all these years I'm learning of the stories behind Diwali. Thank you! Tonight my city was full of fireworks! Happy Diwali everyone!

Nice. But I was little disappointed as you did not cover eastern India, where people celebrate by worshiping Ma Kali during this time. Happy Deepavali everyone 🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔

Ohh!!.therefore I saw idols of maa Kali along with idols of lashmi and ganesh in the market during this time...I wondered whether maa Kali has no connection with diwali so why it is being sold during this time....please tell, what is the story behind worshipping maa Kali on diwali in eastern parts.. 😀😀 I am from Varanasi😁

Even Bengal has it's own good reason to celebrate Diwali🕯 We celebrate Kali puja here. It''s called Dipanwita Amavasya

[@Seoyeaji921]

Yes but I still don't know the story behind this kali puja.

[@Akash-md7zy]

@@Seoyeaji921 Kali puja takes place on every new moon of the year, however the one in Dipanwita Amavasya, ie Diwali is one of the most prominent ones!!

[@diptosaha8374]

@@Seoyeaji921 There is a legend in Hindu Mythology which states that there were two demons (Rakshasa) Shumbh and Nishumbh that were creating rumpus in the heaven and stride themselves to the Himalayas to capture Maa Durga. A battle took place between King Indira and the devils in which gods were defeated. At that moment Maa Durga went ferocious and turns to Maa Kali. After demolishing devils she went impetuous and lost control over her and started killing humans. To save innocent people Lord Shiva placed himself in front of the goddess. As soon as she stepped on Lord Shiva’s chest her tongue came out as she realized her mistake and conciliate herself. From this momentous day picture of Kali is depicted as her foot on God Shiva.

[@diptosaha8374]

@@Seoyeaji921 The festival of Kali Puja is not an ancient one. Kali Puja was practically unknown before the 16th century; famous sage Krisnananda Agambagish first initiated Kali puja, also a late 17th-century devotional text Kalika mangalkavya mentions an annual festival dedicated to Kali. In Bengal during the 18th century, King (Raja) Krishnachandra of Krishnanagar, Nadia, West Bengal also made this puja wide spread.Kali Puja gained popularity in the 19th century, when kali saint Shri Ramkrishna became popular among the Bengalis ; wealthy landowners began patronizing the festival on a grand scale. Along with Durga Puja, Kali Puja is the biggest festival in Tamluk, Barasat Naihati and Barrackpore

[@anjaandura]

Yeah, but she also have explained that it is celebrated in much same way the Nepali Hindu Diwali "Tihar" is celebrated. I do think that Dipawali (Tihar) in Nepal & Diwali in India is much more similar so they didn't think of explaining it.
