In India kali puja is a ritual of Diwali. Kali Puja, also known as Shyama Puja or Mahanisha Puja, is a festival, originating from the Indian subcontinent, dedicated to the Hindu goddess Kali, celebrated on the new moon day (Dipannita Amavasya) of the Hindu month Kartik especially in the regions of Bengal, and in Mithila, Odisha, Assam and the town of Titwala in Maharashtra. It coincides with the Lakshmi Puja day of Diwali. While the Hindu Bengalis, Odias, Assamese and Maithils worship the goddess Kali on this day, the rest of India and Nepal worships goddess Lakshmi on Diwali.


The festival of Kali Puja is not an ancient one. Kali Puja was practically unknown before the 16th century; famous sage Krisnananda Agambagish first initiated Kali puja, also a late 17thcentury devotional text Kalika mangalkavya mentions an annual festival dedicated to Kali. In Bengal during the 18th century, King (Raja) Krishnachandra of Krishnanagar, Nadia, West Bengal also made this puja wide spread. Kali Puja gained popularity in the 19th century, when kali saint Shri Ramkrishna became popular among the Bengalis ; wealthy landowners began patronizing the festival on a grand scale.Along with Durga Puja, Kali Puja is the biggest festival in Bengal and Assam.
