What is Kali Puja?
Worship of Maa Kali, the fierce and compassionate form of the Divine Mother, traditionally offered on Amavasya and on the night of Kartik Amavasya.
Kali Puja is among the rituals families in Kolkata book most often, alongside Durga Puja, Kojagari Lakshmi Puja and Satyanarayan Puja.
वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।
निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥
