Why do people light lamps on Narak Chaturdashi? There is a tradition of lighting a lamp at the main gate of the house in the evening on the day of Chhoti Diwali. According to religious beliefs, the worship of Yama Dev eliminates the fear of premature death. For this reason, a lamp named Yamraj is lit on this day.
