Explanation

Lord Krishna killed the demon Narakasura on the day before Diwali (Naraka Chaturdashi), freeing 16,000 princesses from captivity. This victory over evil is celebrated as the main reason for Diwali in many regions. Mahishasur was killed by Durga, Hollika by Prahlada (Holi), and Vatasur is not a major mythological figure.
