पाठ · Text

॥ श्री कृष्णाय नमः ॥
नरक चतुर्दशी कथा — मौलिक पुनर्प्रस्तुति।

कृष्ण–सत्यभामा ने नरकासुर का नाश कर प्रजा को मुक्त किया — अंधकार पर प्रकाश की छोटी दीwali।

कई घरों में अभिषंग स्नान, तेल–उबटन, और यमदीप की परंपरा है।

रूप चौदस सौंदर्य का दिन भी कहा जाता है — भीतर की स्वच्छता पहले।

॥ जय श्री कृष्ण ॥
