Day Seven of Navratri – Kalratri


Ratri in Sanskrit that turn out to translate in to night, and so her complexion is as dark as the night. She has very long, unmated hair with her three eyes that are shimmering and dazzling. She has four arms and is seen escalated on a Shav/Shava or dead body. Her right hand seizes and clutches a sword, while her lower hand is in a blessing stance. The left hand possesses a burning torch and the lower left hand is in courageous and valiant position.



She is very much well known and popular as Shubhamkari or the auspicious one. Her appearance supports her devotees to be brave and bold.
