In Goa, Narkasur Chaturdashi, celebrated the night before Diwali, is one of the most anticipated events, filled with vibrant traditions that center around the mythological demon Narkasur. The festival involves the creation and subsequent burning of giant effigies of Narkasur, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil and is unique to Goan Diwali celebrations.
Narkasur, a powerful demon in Hindu mythology, was known for his oppressive rule and was believed to have terrorized people on Earth and the heavens alike. According to legend, he was eventually vanquished by Lord Krishna, who symbolized divine power and righteousness. The burning of his effigies in Goa reenacts this victory and marks the onset of the Diwali festivities, celebrating the return of light and positivity.
