Preparation For Bhoot Chaturdashi In Kolkata.
Children sit beside different figures of demons, commonly known as Dakini and Jogini, who are believed to be companions of Goddess Kali, at a potters' hub in Kolkata, India, on October 18, 2025, ahead of Bhoot Chaturdashi in the city. Bhoot Chaturdashi, or Indian Halloween, is observed a day ahead of Kali Puja. It is believed that evil spirits visit the earthly realm on this day, and tantriks perform dark rituals. People light candles and oil lamps at the doors and windows of their homes to ward off evil energy, according to popular belief. (Photo by Debarchan Chatterjee/NurPhoto)
