Drik lists Kali Puja and the Diwali Lakshmi Puja on two days because Amavasya begins on the night of the 28th and ends on the evening of the 29th. Bengali panjikas may differ; check your panjika.
The five days of Diwali
In Drik Panchang's Diwali calendar, for both Kolkata and Dhaka: Dhanteras is Wednesday 27 October, Naraka Chaturdashi Thursday 28 October, Lakshmi Puja Friday 29 October, Govardhan Puja Saturday 30 October and Bhaiya Dooj Sunday 31 October. Drik does not use the name Bhoot Chaturdashi, and its Bhaiya Dooj is what Bengalis call Bhai Phota; check your panjika for both. (Source: Drik Panchang, Diwali Puja Calendar 2027 (Kolkata))
In Bengal, the Diwali night is Kali Puja
Kali Puja, also called Shyama Puja or Mahanisha Puja, is especially prominent in West Bengal. It falls on the new moon, coinciding with Diwali night, and is mostly worshipped at night. Kalighat and Dakshineswar in Kolkata are prominent sites. (Source: Wikipedia, Kali Puja)
