Kathmandu. On the seventh day of Navratri, Dasain is being worshiped properly in the house or in the pooja room of Kalaratri Devi, the seventh of the nine Durgas. Every year on Ashwin Shukla Saptami i.e. the seventh day of Durga Paksha, there is a Vedic Sanatani tradition of ritually worshiping Goddess Kalaratri. Time destroys animals.
