History of Navratri Day 7 and Goddess Kalratri

The 7th day marks the worship of Goddess Kalratri. She is the goddess of power and strength. According to mythology, the origin of Maa Kalratri takes place during the fearsome fight of 9 days of Goddess Durga with demon Mahisasura. Further, she slaughters him in the war on the 10th day.

At the time of destruction by the Demon Shumbha and Nishumbha, Goddess Parvati takes the incarnation of Maa Kalratri. When these two demons invade the Devlok and the abode of gods, Goddess Parvati determines to slaughter the asuras. Upon this, she takes the form of fiery, thundering Goddess Kalratri. Later, she slays all the demons and frees Devlok from their fear.
