Unlike commercial apps, Dharmartha Panchanga uses the classical Sūrya Siddhānta approach to eliminate atmospheric distortion, resulting in a highly precise ~3–4 minute variance in Sunrise, Sunset, Horas and Muhurtas. · Ayanamsa ≈ 24.232° · New Delhi

Kalaratri
Devi of the Day

Navadurga · Form 7

Kalaratri

कालरात्रि

The most fierce of the nine, Kalaratri is dark as night, three-eyed and flame-breathing, riding a donkey. Terrible to demons yet 'Shubhankari' (auspicious) to devotees, she annihilates fear, negativity and the bondage of time (kala), granting fearlessness (abhaya).

About Dharmartha

Ancient knowledge, thoughtfully organised for the digital age.

A vast body of Bharatiya knowledge exists across texts, traditions, oral practices and regional sources, but much of it remains difficult to discover or access digitally. Dharmartha exists to help organise and present this knowledge in an accessible, respectful digital format.

We're just getting started

Dharmartha is a bootstrapped community initiative — we're building it one page, one tradition and one resource at a time. New content, temples, practices and sources are added every day.
