Goddess Kali is worshipped by the Bengalis in West Bengal and across the world on Diwali with great religious ardour and devotion in special ceremonies.

In another Twitter post, she wished "brightness and joy" and "safety, well-being and prosperity" for all on Diwali.

Happy Diwali!

As we light diyas and get into the festive spirit on this special day, I pray that everyone's life is always filled with brightness and joy! I pray for the safety, well-being and prosperity of all.
— Mamata Banerjee (@MamataOfficial) November 4, 2021

In contrast to her usual fiery image, Banerjee appeared to be in a spiritual mood as she sat quietly in the puja pandal.

On her official facebook account, she posted several videos of the Kali Puja organised at her Kalighat home in south Kolkata. In the videos, the CM can be seen actively participating in various puja rituals and interacting with the visitors.
