About Naraka Chaturdashi
The pre-dawn oil bath, not the night fireworks, is the heart of this day. Krishna himself bathed in oil at Brahma Muhurta after killing the demon Narakasura, and devotees repeat that bath before sunrise — believed to spare the bather from Naraka (hell), the very word the festival is named after.
