Kalaratri is the 7th form of Navadurga. 

Maa Kalaratri is a fiercest form of Goddess Parvati. It is believed that Mata Kalaratri destroys all evil spirits, demons and negative energies.

She drinks the blood of Raktabija, every drop that gives rise to millions of demons. She carries iron hook and sword, in other two hands she carries Abhaya(courage) and Vaarada(provides boon).

She is dark as night (ratri) and rides on donkey.

I'm sharing a Sikku Kolam which is inspired by Hema Kannan ma'am's Rangoli.

 As we all know there are 32 forms of Ganesha.

I'll be sharing a series of different types of Ganesha in form of kolam / Rangoli.

The Vigneshvara means one who removes obstacles and brings good fortune and prosperity. 

First form of Ganesha:

Bala Ganapati

From the name we know Bala means child... Ganesha is in form of Child with four arms holding Mango, Sugar Cane, Jackfruit and Banana...with a garland of Modaks which is his favourite sweet. 

I've shared a Padi Kolam with Bala Ganesha's curved trunk in the centre and his favourite sweet modakas in four corners and some ladookams in four sides. Hope you all like it!

Thank U!
