India is a land of diversity so one festival celebrated in different ways and with different names. Today is 2nd day of India's biggest festival Dipawali and it is celebrated as Roop Chaturdashi and also known as Naraka Chaturdashi , Kali Chaudas, araka Nivaran Chaturdashi.
Roop Choudas stands for two words where Roop means beauty and Chaturdashi means the fourteen day of the Kartik month according to the Hindu Lunar Calendar. On this day, women beautify themselves. Roop Chaudas pooja is performed mainly by women to gain beauty or to enhance their beauty. On Roop Chaudas Hindus undertake beauty treatments so as to look their best on Diwali day.
In some part of India this day celebrated as Kali Choudas, according to the legends, it is believed that Goddess Kali killed the powerful demon Raktabiga/ Narakasura on this auspicious day making it known as Kali Choudas or Naraka-Chaturdashi. Kali Chaudas is a day to abolish laziness and evil, which create hell in our life and shine light on life. On this day, a head wash and application of kajal in the eyes is believed to keep away the kali nazar (evil eye).
