Significance of Maa Kaalratri
The name Kaalratri combines ‘kaal (time or death) and ‘ratri’ (night or darkness), symbolising the force that ends darkness and ignorance, making way for light and wisdom.
Furthermore, Maa Kaalratri is considered the most fearsome manifestation of Durga. Her dark complexion represents her intense and resolute nature.
She is depicted with four arms, embodying both fear and protection.
Her upper right hand grants boons, the lower right offers protection and fearlessness, while her upper left wields a sword and her lower left carries an iron club to vanquish evil forces.
Navratri 2025 is being observed across India with great devotion. Thousands of devotees are visiting temples to offer prayers and seek blessings from Maa Kaalratri.
The celebrations also highlight faith, courage, and devotion, as citizens perform rituals to seek prosperity, harmony, and strength.
Moreover, the observances on this day serve as a reminder of the victory of light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance.
Devotion to Maa Kaalratri strengthens faith, courage, and righteousness, promoting personal growth and the well-being of society.
