Devi Kalratri is the most powerful of Durga's nine incarnations, and she is worshipped on the seventh day of Navratri Pooja.
'Kalratri' means 'the one who removes darkness and ignorance from the thoughts of her devotees'.
Despite her scary look, she always brings good fortune. As a result, she is also known as Shubankari.
Shumbha and Nishumbha were two terrible demons that lived once upon a time, Namuchi, their brother, was assinated by Indra Deva, the God of Heaven.
HISTORY AND
ORIGIN
They were both devasted by the news and resolved to exact vengeance on the Gods, which they eventually defeated.
Maa Katyayani destroyed the demon Mahishasura, these three were his old pals.
Gods prayed to Goddess Parvati. She recognised their anxieties and created a new goddess, Chandi, to assist them. Chandi was able to kill almost all the demons sent by Shumbha and Nishumha.
