This year's note
Narak Chaturdashi, also called Roop Chaudas or Choti Diwali, is Kartik Krishna Chaturdashi — Saturday, 7 November 2026. The day marks Krishna's victory over Narakasura; the abhyanga snan (oil bath) before sunrise, a Yama lamp at dusk and the first rows of diyas belong to this evening. Marwar and Mewar homes call it Roop Chaudas and keep the beauty-bath tradition.
The abhyanga snan is timed from moonrise to sunrise on the 7th, which is why the chaturdashi bath is listed a day before Lakshmi puja. Pradosh kaal that evening is for the Yama deepam.
Open your city panchang for 7 November for sunrise (end of the snan window), sunset, pradosh and rahu kalam.
