Why This Works for Bharani
Tripura Sundari aligns with Venus’s creative, nurturing aspect. Kali supports transformation and the transcendence of life’s cycles, both of which reflect Bharani’s cosmic symbolism—the bridge between life, death, and rebirth. Regular observance balances emotions, fulfills material and spiritual goals, and awakens higher wisdom in the native.
