In a battle between Gods and demons; Kali started vanquishing demons and in a fit of rage killed anyone that came in the way. In order to bring order to the situation, Lord Shiva placed himself beneath the Goddess and asked her to stop the savage act.

This significant day is observed as Diwali Kali Puja and is performed at midnight on the Amavasya night. Diwali Kali Puja is known to rid mortals of sins and allow prosperity, mental calm and happiness to enter into lives of devotees.
