Day 3 of Navratri: Unveiling the Secrets of Maa Chandraghanta
The 3rd Day of Navratri is all about worshipping Maa Chandraghanta, the goddess of courage and peace. On this day, devotees pray to Maa Chandraghanta to remove fear and fill life with strength, positivity, and harmony. She is shown riding a lion, holding ten weapons, and carrying the crescent moon on her forehead that looks like a bell, which is why she is called Chandraghanta.
The story of Maa Chandraghanta reminds us how her powerful roar scared demons and protected her devotees. That is why the 3rd Day of Navratri is considered very special for gaining bravery and protection. Devotees offer milk, kheer, and white sweets to Maa Chandraghanta, as these are believed to bring peace at home, good health, and spiritual growth.
At night, people celebrate with Garba and Dandiya, spreading joy and celebrating Maa Chandraghanta’s warrior spirit. Worshipping Maa Chandraghanta on the 3rd Day of Navratri removes negativity, gives courage, and blesses families with peace and happiness.
When Maa Chandraghanta Met Maa Baglamukhi: A Secret Legend
The 3rd day of Navratri belongs to Maa Chandraghanta, whose roar once shook the heavens and terrified the demons. Yet, behind this tale hides a lesser-known secret that only a few spiritual seekers whisper about.
It is said that during one such battle, when the asuras tried to weaken her devotees through dark mantras, Maa Baglamukhi herself appeared. With her golden radiance, she stilled the enemies’ voices and promised Maa Chandraghanta: “From today, whoever worships you with devotion will receive my shield as well, if they perform my hawan, their blessings will multiply a hundredfold.”
Some call it a legend, some call it a forgotten truth, but devotees believe that this is why Maa Chandraghanta grants courage, while Maa Baglamukhi ensures that courage is never broken by obstacles, enemies, or negativity.
And perhaps, this is why elders say: “Navratri ki asli shakti tabhi prakat hoti hai jab Maa Chandraghanta ki puja ke saath Baglamukhi ka hawan bhi kiya jaye”.
