Maa Chandraghanta is the third form of Navdurga, worshipped on the third day of Navratri. She is honoured as a powerful and compassionate form of Goddess Durga who represents courage, protection, peace, and the strength to overcome fear.
Her name comes from the crescent-moon-shaped bell, or ghanta, traditionally associated with her forehead. For devotees, Maa Chandraghanta represents the ability to remain calm within difficulty while taking firm action when it is needed.
Who is Maa Chandraghanta?
Maa Chandraghanta is traditionally depicted riding a lion or tiger and carrying divine weapons along with symbols of blessing. Her form expresses readiness to protect devotees while also offering reassurance and peace.
The sound of the sacred bell is symbolically connected with clearing negative energy and awakening courage. Her worship reminds devotees that spiritual strength is not aggression—it is the confidence to protect truth, live with dignity, and face uncertainty without losing faith.
