On the seventh day of Sharadiya Navratri, the seventh Shakti Kalratri of Mother Durga is worshiped on the seventh day. Today will be the day of worship of Kalratri on Monday 29 September 2025. Maa Kalratri is the destruction of dark conditions and protects from time to time.

In Goddess Bhagwat Purana, Kalratri is considered as the form of Maa Kali. She is called Kalratri due to the seventh form of Maa Durga being black and gigantic. Let us know about the story related to Maa Kalratri.

In Durga Saptashati, the story of Maa Bhadrakali is mentioned at the time of Mahishasura’s slaughter. According to the legend, Maa Kalratri protected the deities and humans by killing the demons named Shumbha-Nishumbha and Raktabij.

According to the legend, there was an atmosphere of fear in the three worlds due to Shumbha-Nishumbha and the terror of bloodbies. All the gods went to Mahadev to solve the problem. Mahadev asked Mata Parvati to end the Shumbha-Nishumbha. Then the goddess took the form of Durga and killed Shumbha-Nishumbha.

It is said that the bloodbies had a bride that his blood drops will be born as soon as he fell on the earth. Then Mata Durga took the form of mother Kalratri from her fast. Maa Kalratri filled the blood of bloodbies in her mouth before falling on the earth. In this way, blood seeds could also be destroyed.

Mother Kalratri is also a name Shubhankari, because Kalratri kills the Asuras. At the same time, it fills the life of its devotees with auspiciousness. On this day, you should worship Maa Kalratri by offering jaggery.
