Follow us on

Ma Chandraghanta, often considered the third incarnation of Ma Durga, represents knowledge, bliss, and justice. She is considered to be the married form of Goddess Parvati and started wearing the half Chandra after her union with Lord Shiva. She takes her name after half-moon on her forehead which looks like a bell (Ghanta), for which she is addressed as Chandra-Ghanta.

Her third eye is always open and she is ready for war against demons at all times. Devi Chandraghanta is depicted with ten hands and carries Trishul, Gada, Sword, and Kamandal in her four left hands and keeps the fifth left hand in Varada Mudra. She carries lotus flower, Arrow, Dhanush and Japa Mala in her four right hands and keeps the fifth right hand in Abhaya Mudra.

She is worshipped on the third day of Navratri and it is believed that the sound of the moon-bell on her forehead keeps ghostly and negative spirits away from her devotees.

Navratri 2019 Day 3: Maa Chandraghanta Aarti

जय माँ चन्द्रघण्टा सुख धाम। पूर्ण कीजो मेरे काम॥
चन्द्र समाज तू शीतल दाती। चन्द्र तेज किरणों में समाती॥
मन की मालक मन भाती हो। चन्द्रघण्टा तुम वर दाती हो॥
सुन्दर भाव को लाने वाली। हर संकट में बचाने वाली॥
हर बुधवार को तुझे ध्याये। श्रद्दा सहित तो विनय सुनाए॥
मूर्ति चन्द्र आकार बनाए। शीश झुका कहे मन की बाता॥
पूर्ण आस करो जगत दाता। कांचीपुर स्थान तुम्हारा॥
कर्नाटिका में मान तुम्हारा। नाम तेरा रटू महारानी॥
भक्त की रक्षा करो भवानी।
