Diwali or popularly known locally as Deepavali, falls on the preceding day of the New Moon in the Malayalam month Thulam (October–November). The celebrations are based on the legend of Narakasura Vadha –
where Sri Krishna destroyed the demon and the day Narakasura died is celebrated as Deepavali.[65] It commemorates the triumph of good over evil. The story of King Bali is also associated with Diwali by Hindus in Kerala.
