Bhramari

(“circling”) Powerful form of the
Goddess. Bhramari takes form to
oppose the demon Aruna, who in his
hubris is trying to compromise the
chastity of the gods’ wives. They implore
the Goddess to help them, and in her
form as Bhramari, she kills the demon
and removes the threat. Bhramari is
worshiped on the eighth night of
Navaratri, a nine-day festival in which
one goddess is appeased every night.
