Day 3 - Chandraghanta [Navratri]

Chandraghanta (चंद्रघंटा) means "one who has a half-moon shaped like a bell. Her third eye is always opened and she is always ready for war against demons". She is also known as Chandrakhanda, Chandika or Rannchandi. Her worship takes place on the third day of Navaratri (the nine divine nights of Navadurga). She is believed to reward people with her grace, bravery and courage. By her grace, all the sins, distresses, physical sufferings, mental tribulations and ghostly hurdles of the devotees are eradicated.

या देवी सर्वभूतेषु विद्यारूपेण संस्थिता।

नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः॥

जो सभी प्राणियों में विद्या के रूप में स्थित है, उस देवी को नमन है।
