Parijatham (/pɑːrɪdʒɑːðəm/) is a 1950 Indian Tamil language Hindu mythological film directed by K. S. Gopalakrishnan,[a] starring T. R. Mahalingam, M. V. Rajamma and B. S. Saroja.

Narakasura, the demon king has invincible powers due to the boons he had received from Devas and with all that he wreaks havoc on everyone.

Narada knows that only Bama, the wife of Krishna who was Naragasura's mother in the previous birth can annihilate him.

As expected the demon king dies at the hands of Bama but not before making a request that his day of death be celebrated by people as Deepavali.

The film was produced by S. K. Sundararama Iyer under the banner Lavanya Pictures and was shot at Newtone and Vauhini studios.
