Navratri – Seventh day of Navratri is dedicated to Goddess Kaalratri


Navratri festival is celebrated with immense enthusiasm by all Hindus and devotees of Goddess Durga and Shakti. The goddess is worshiped in all her 9 incarnations throughout the Navratri. The 9 avatars of the goddess include: Shailaputri, Brahmcharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skandmata, Katyayani, Kaalratri, Mahagauri, and Sidhidatri.

Seventh Day of Navratri is dedicated to Goddess Kaalratri - one of the fiercest forms of Goddess Durga. She is believed as the destroyer of all ghosts, negative energies and bad spirits. Therefore, Kaalratri is the one who removes darkness. Goddess Kaalratri is believed to be the most violent goddess among Navdurga (the nine avatars of goddess Durga). She has black complexion and her appearance arouses fear among the evil. Her open red tongue, large fiery, red eyes, and sobre on hand violently demolish monsters and devils. Devotees also glorify her with name 'Kali Maa'. Devi Kalaratri has three round eyes, and long, scattered black hair. She wears a bead that shines like fire of electric power. In her Kaalratri avatar, the goddess destroys the dirt and demons from their existence. She rides on gadarbh (donkey).

She blesses her devotees with long life and freedom from fear of any kind.

At SynapseIndia, we celebrate Navratri with immense enthusiasm and joy.
