Legend of Maa Kalratri
Maa Kalratri’s Katha (story) takes us back to ancient times, when Goddess Parvati incarnated herself as Maa Kalratri. According to myths, the tale revolves around a demon named Raktbeej who wreaked havoc in the lives of Gods and Goddesses. At the humble request of gods, mother Parvati stepped up to kill the demon in the form of Maa Kalratri.
Maa Kalratri peeled her golden-colored skin to kill Shumbha-Nishumbha and Raktbeej. Following the death of Raktbeej, his blood drop gave birth to millions of his own forms. Maa Kalaratri collected the blood in a small bowl and then licked it, to avoid the multiplication of any more demons. Kalratri refers to the two words Kaal (Death) and Ratri (Night), which combinedly form the name ‘Kalratri’.
