Who is Maa Kaalratri?
On the day 7 of Shardiya Navratri, devotees honour Maa Kaalratri for her gratefulness and how she defeated the demons all alone. Maa Kaalratri symbolizes the source of destruction and removal of ignorance, evilness, and negative energies around her believers which ultimately represent her as the triumph of light over darkness. The vicious and feral form of Maa Kaalratri is derived from the words Kala means time of death or destruction and Ratri means night; this leads to the real meaning of her presence on the particular day as she has the power to destroy negativity, while her auspicious aspect is to provide protection to her devotees. It is said that people who worship the goddess get a power to overcome fear, control their inner bad thoughts, and gain strength to face struggles in one's life.
