Goddess Kalaratri, the seventh form of Navadurga, is the most fearsome and powerful manifestation of the Divine Mother, representing the fierce force of time (Kala) and spiritual cleansing. She is depicted with a dark complexion, unkempt hair, three eyes blazing with flames, and a fearless stance, riding a donkey and holding a sword and a noose. Despite her terrifying appearance, she is a deeply benevolent goddess who removes darkness, fear, and negative energies. Worshipped on the seventh day of Navaratri, she grants protection, spiritual liberation, and victory over all obstacles, teaching that beyond the fiercest forms lies ultimate compassion.
