एकवेणी जपाकर्णपूरा नग्ना खरास्थिता।
लम्बोष्ठी कर्णिकाकर्णी तैलाभ्यक्तशरीरिणी॥
वामपादोल्लसल्लोहलताकण्टकभूषणा।
वर्धनमूर्धध्वजा कृष्णा कालरात्रिर्भयङ्करी॥अपने भक्तों को अभय प्रदान करने वाली आदिशक्ति माँ दुर्गा के सप्तम स्वरूप माँ कालरात्रि के चरणों में कोटि-कोटि नमन।

Gupta said worshipping Maa Kalaratri teaches devotees to confront darkness with unwavering faith and resolve. She prayed for the destruction of negative forces and the spread of peace, harmony and positive energy throughout society.
The seventh day of Sharad Navratri falls on October 17 this year. Devotees worship Maa Kalaratri on Saptami as part of the nine-day festival dedicated to the nine forms of Goddess Durga.
Maa Kalaratri symbolises the destruction of fear, darkness and negative forces. Despite her fierce appearance, devotees worship her as a benevolent protector who grants fearlessness and safeguards them from adversity.
