Choti Diwali or Narak Chaturdashi, celebrated on the 14th day of Kartik’s dark fortnight, involves lighting diyas for Yam Raj to ensure family longevity. Observed with rituals honoring Yama, Lord Krishna, and Goddess Lakshmi, it commemorates Lord Krishna’s victory over Narakasura. Lighting diyas on October 30 is believed to ward off illness and suffering.
