Kali Puja is a Hindu festival dedicated to the worship of Goddess Kali, who symbolizes power, destruction, and transformation. Celebrated primarily in the Indian state of West Bengal, it usually takes place on the new moon night in the month of Kartik, which falls between October and November. Devotees offer prayers, flowers, and food to seek blessings and protection from the goddess. During Kali Puja, elaborate rituals are performed, including the chanting of mantras and the lighting of lamps. Many people also create beautiful idols of Kali and decorate them with vibrant colors. The festival is marked by a spirit of devotion and community, with families coming together to celebrate and share festive meals.
