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.
