Each god accordingly created something in his own way. Brahma created the earth; Vishnu created the sky; Shiva created the planets; Yamai (Goddess of Death) created humans. All were different in their shapes and forms so they couldn’t be accommodated in any one place. So, Datta came forward to attempt a reconciliation of all gods. He suggested that all gods should come together to create human beings out of different materials using their own energies . As the deities were all different there wouldn’t be any similarity between humans created by them. All gods readily agreed to this proposal. Then Datta appointed the month of his death as the beginning date of Kalnirnay for all deities. Brahma worshipped the earth, Vishnu worshipped the sky, Shiva worshiped the planets and Yamai worshipped humans to create them. Who brought what to the Kalnirnay festival? Kalnirnay celebrations are celebrated all over Maharashtra. It is a very joyful occasion, though people observe fast for one day.
