Chandraghanta Puja Vidhi And Story

Navratri is regarded as one of the most significant and widely popular festivities which is dedicated to worship the nine different forms of Goddess Durga. Navratri i.e. 9 nights is a 9-day long celebration with each day holding a distinct significance. It is a festival dedicated to Goddess Durga and her nine forms. Each day is associated with one form of Maa Durga.

The names of the nine different avatars of Maa Durga are Shailaputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skanda Mata, Katyayani, Kalaratri, Mahagauri, and Siddhidatri.

The third day of Navratri celebrations is dedicated to Maa Chandraghanta. Maa Chandraghanta is the married form of Maa Parvati. Maa Parvati after getting married to Lord Shiva started adorning her forehead with half Moon (Chandra). This is the reason Goddess Parvati came to be known as Goddess Chandraghanta.
