The seventh of the nine nights of the Navratri is dedicated to Kaalratri, the most fearsome of all avatars. Kaalratri’s name derives from Kaal, meaning time, and Ratri, meaning night.
Kaalratri removes ignorance and destroys the darkness. She has four arms and wields a cleaver and a torch in two of them. Her remaining two hands promise to provide and to protect.
Demonic entities, ghosts, evil spirits all flee from her presence. Kaalratri rides a donkey and blesses the devotee who does not fear her. Her three eyes as well as her nostrils release fire and energy.

Yogis and Sadhus meditate upon her on the seventh day of the Navratri to awaken powers and siddhis. Kaalratri, who killed the bloodborn demon Raktabeej, endows her devotees with calm and courage.
