- Narak Chaturdashi is observed in different ways in different regions.
- It is believed that once Lord Krishna rescued 16,000 girls kept as hostage by a demon named Narkasur.
- However, the girls were quite afraid due to the fact that nobody would accept them and thus they would have to go through embarrassment.
- Thus, Lord Krishna along with his wife Rukmani decided that Krishna will be marrying all of them. He said that the world will know these girls as 16,000 queens of the Lord himself.
- This is the reason why Lord Krishna had 16,000 wives.
- The day on which these incidents happened was Narak Chaturdashi.
- People celebrate this day by decorating their houses and sending gifts to their loved ones.
