The seventh day of Sharad Navaratri worships Goddess Kalaratri. This is said to be the fiercest and the most ferocious form of Goddess Parvati. It is believed that Goddess Parvati removed her outer golden skin to kill the demons named Shumbha and Nishumbha.  She thus got the name Goddess Kalaratri and is said to be governed by the planet of Shani. Dark in complexion, this form of Devi Maa is said to ride on a donkey. She is depicted with four hands. She carries a sword and deadly hook in her left hands and uses her right hands to bless her devotees.
