Guest guest Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Dear Sarbani di, Can you please educate me on the various forms of Kali pujo and the reason behind the selection of certain specific Amavasyas for the same? This is what I could gather from the internet: Kali is worshipped daily, but there are special pujas during Dipamvita (the new moon of Kartik), Maghi Krsnachaturdashi (the fourteenth day of the moon during Magh), Krsnachaturdashi (the dark fortnight) in Jyaistha etc. The goddess as worshipped in Magh and Jyaistha is named Ratanti and Phalaharini respectively. Kali puja is also held when asking for a special boon. My family has a 200 year old tradition of Kali Pujo but we do the Kartik month pujo during diwali. I am quite uneducated on the other ones and legend behind them. I shall be grateful if you could share your views with me (and us) on this and enlighten us on the subject.
