Bali Pratipada, also known as Bali Puja or Govardhan Puja, is an important Hindu festival celebrated on the fourth day of Diwali, right after Diwali Amavasya and Lakshmi Puja. This occasion is celebrated to mark the victory of Lord Vishnu’s Vamana avatar over the demon king Bali and the return of King Bali from the underworld to visit his people. The day symbolises the triumph of dharma (righteousness) over adharma (evil) and the restoration of cosmic balance. Bali Pratipada falls on the first day of Kartik Pratipada, which falls on the next day of Diwali Puja, i.e., in the Gregorian calendar months of October or November. This year, Bali Pratipada 2025 falls on Wednesday, October 22, 2025. It is the first day of the Hindu month of Kartika and is the first day of its bright lunar fortnight
