Speaking of the festival of Navratri, today marks the 7th day of Navratri 2020 and Kalaratri Devi is worshipped on this auspicious day. Kalaratri is the seventh avatar of Navdurga. The colour of the seventh day of Navratri is green. Saptami Tithi began at 7:39 AM on October 22 and shall end at 6:57 AM on October 23.

Kalaratri Maa is considered to be one of the most destructive avatars of Mother Goddess Durga. The other fierce forms are Bhadrakali, Chamundeshwari, Bhairavi, and Chandi. She destroys evil to restore peace and Dharma. 

This form of the Mother Goddess is mounted on a donkey. Kalaratri Maa governs Shani (Saturn), and hence, those suffering from the ill-effects of the planet worship her to rid themselves of its adverse influence.
