Overview
Kali Puja for families in Rathyatra
Kali Puja is the worship of Maa Kali, the form of the Divine Mother who is honoured as the destroyer of ignorance and fear. Though her form is fierce, devotees relate to her above all as a mother who protects her children, and her worship is marked by deep devotion rather than fear.
Rathyatra is one of the best-known crossings in central Varanasi, linking Sigra, Mahmoorganj and the roads towards the south of the city. Its name comes from the traditional Rath Yatra fair of Lord Jagannath held in the area each year.
वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।
