Mahagauri Devi is the eighth form of Goddess Durga, worshipped on the eighth day of Navratri. Her name, "Mahagauri," means "extremely white," symbolizing purity, peace, and serenity. According to Hindu mythology, she attained her radiant, fair complexion after performing intense penance to appease Lord Shiva, who later accepted her as his consort. She is depicted riding a white bull, wearing white clothes, and holding a trident and a drum, which emphasize her calm yet powerful nature. Devotees believe that worshipping Mahagauri removes all sins, grants peace and prosperity, and purifies the soul. Her energy is said to eliminate fear and negativity, guiding devotees toward spiritual enlightenment.' -Life Unfold. #Navduraga #kalratri #durgapuja #kurukulla #scrolllink #shaktiAradhana

Kaalratri Devi is the seventh and most fierce form of Goddess Durga, worshipped on the seventh day of Navratri. She is known as the destroyer of ignorance, darkness, and all evil forces. With a dark complexion, disheveled hair, and a blazing aura, she rides a donkey and appears fearsome, yet she radiates immense compassion toward her devotees. She has four hands—two bestowing blessings and protection, and two carrying a sword and a deadly iron hook. Despite her terrifying form, she is lovingly called “Shubankari,” as she grants auspiciousness, fearlessness, and freedom from obstacles. Worshipping Kaalratri Devi is believed to remove negative energies, protect from harm, and lead the devotee toward spiritual awakening and ultimate liberation.’ -Life Unfold. #Navduraga #kalratri #durgapuja #kurukulla #scrolllink #shaktiAradhana
