#Navratri Day 7
October 2, 2022, Sunday
Navratri color of the day - #Orange
Worshipping Goddess Navdurga wearing Orange color on Sunday bestows the person with qualities such as warmth and exuberance. This color is full of positive energy and keeps the person upbeat.
On the day 7 of Navratri, devotees worship #Goddess #Kalaratri, the seventh form of Goddess Maa #Durga. Maa Kalaratri (sometimes spelled as Kaalratri) is believed to be the most ferocious avatar of #Navdurga who destroys ignorance and darkness that are spread around the universe. Kaal means who kills the demon, and Ratri means night, which forms the name ‘Kalaratri’. The seventh day of Navratri is celebrated as ‘Maha Saptami.’ Devotees believe that Maa Kalaratri helps overcome all obstacles in achieving success.
About Maa Kalaratri
Goddess Kalaratri has a dark complexion and she rides on a donkey. Her idol represents four hands. Her right hands are in Abhaya and Varada Mudra; she carries the sword and the deadly iron hook in her left hands. Although Goddess Kalaratri is believed to be the most ferocious form of Goddess Parvati, she blesses her devotees with Abhaya and Varada Mudras.
