Today is the seventh day of Navratri and on this day Mother Kalratri(कालरात्रि), the seventh form of Goddess Durga, is worshipped. Mata Kalratri is also called Shubhankari, Mahayogishwari(महायोगीश्वरी) and Mahayogini(महायोगिनी). By worshiping Mata Kalratri methodically and observing fast, Mata protects her devotees from all the evil powers and evil spirits. That is, by worshiping the mother, devotees do not have to fear untimely death. All achievements are obtained from this form of mother, hence people who do Tantra Mantra especially worship Maa Kalratri.

This form of Mother is of Kalika i.e. of dark complexion. His long hair is spread in all directions.
