Meaning and Symbolism of Maa Kalratri
The term ‘Kalratri’ combines ‘kal’, meaning time or death, and ‘ratri’, meaning night or darkness, symbolising the force that eliminates ignorance and ushers in enlightenment.
Devotees regard Maa Kalratri as the fiercest form of Goddess Durga, representing both the destruction of evil and the protection of her followers.
Artists traditionally portray her with four arms, holding a sword and an iron weapon, while her other hands grant blessings and assure safety.
Devotees across the country are also observing Navratri with great devotion, visiting temples in large numbers to offer prayers.
The celebrations highlight strong faith and spiritual fervour, as people seek blessings for prosperity, well-being, and inner strength.
