The day is celebrated after Dhanteras but before Badi Diwali, which will be celebrated on Thursday.

According to belief, he also inflicted defeat on Lord Krishna. However, a day before Naraka Chaturdashi, Krishna defeated the demon king and freed the girls.
Another form of the legend associated with the revolves around Bali, an influential king. The gods were mortally afraid of him and feared that he might conquer the three lokas and inflict his unjust rule on them.
Lord Vishnu, in an to combat this fear, visited Bali in the avatar of Vamana and asked him to provide a three-foot space in his kingdom for him. A vain Bali called Vamana a beggar and agreed to give anything he had begged for.
Lord Vishnu covered the three lokas in two footsteps before asking the king where he should place his third foot.
When Bali told him to place it on his head, Lord Vishnu conquered him. Thus, Choti Diwali celebrates the victory of goodness over greed.
