Why does Maa Kalaratri look so fierce when she is worshipped as a protector of her devotees? Her dark complexion, flowing hair and powerful appearance can seem intimidating, but there is a deeper meaning behind this form. Worshipped on the seventh day of Navratri, Maa Kalaratri represents the strength to face fear and overcome darkness. The surprising truth is that the Goddess who appears most terrifying is also remembered for bringing protection, blessings and auspiciousness to those who seek her grace.
