Soul Cosmic by Himani

On the seventh day of Navratri, devotees worship Maa Kaalratri, the fierce and powerful form of Goddess Durga. She is known for her dark complexion, blazing eyes, and unshakable energy that destroys negativity and evil forces. Despite her fierce appearance, she is lovingly called Shubhamkari—the one who blesses devotees with auspiciousness, courage, and protection.

Maa Kaalratri rides on a donkey, has flowing hair, three bright eyes, and carries a sword and a thunderbolt (vajra). She symbolizes the end of fear and darkness. She protects devotees from negative energies, spirits, and obstacles, guiding them towards light and spiritual strength.
