Gupt Navratri Day 3 date

Gupt Navratri Day 3 falls on Friday, 17 July 2026. Devotees continue the vrat and worship Maa Chandraghanta, invoking courage and protection.

Who is Maa Chandraghanta?

Maa Chandraghanta is the third Navadurga form, named for the crescent moon (chandra) shaped like a bell (ghanta) on her forehead. Depicted riding a tiger with ten arms bearing weapons, she embodies courage, protection and the readiness to defend her devotees.

Her fierce-yet-graceful nature aligns naturally with Gupt Navratri, a season devoted to protective, obstacle-stilling worship.

Maa Chandraghanta puja vidhi

  1. Bathe, purify the space, and tend the lamp.

  2. Place her image and offer water, roli, akshat and flowers.

  3. Offer red flowers, which are dear to her.

  4. Chant her mantra with devotion.

  5. Continue your Baglamukhi mantra japa on a turmeric mala.

  6. Read the Durga Saptashati and conclude with aarti.

Maa Chandraghanta mantra

ॐ देवी चन्द्रघण्टायै नमः॥ Om Devi Chandraghantayai Namah.

Maa Chandraghanta katha

According to tradition, Maa Chandraghanta arose as a fierce, radiant form to protect the devas and vanquish demonic forces. The sound of her bell is said to terrify negativity and evil, driving it away from her devotees. Her katha is one of protective power wielded for the good - the goddess who stands guard between her devotees and harm.

This protective theme is precisely why her worship resonates during Gupt Navratri, when devotees seek the shielding grace of the Mother.

Bhog and offerings

The traditional bhog for Maa Chandraghanta is milk or milk-based sweets (kheer), offered for freedom from sorrow and for peace, in traditional belief. Red flowers and sattvic prasad are also offered.

Benefits according to tradition

Worship of Maa Chandraghanta is believed to bring - as fruits of faith, not guarantees:

  • Courage and fearlessness

  • Protection from negativity and harm

  • Removal of obstacles

  • Peace, calm and confidence

Day 3 and Baglamukhi worship

Maa Chandraghanta's protective grace echoes the very reason devotees turn to Maa Baglamukhi during Gupt Navratri - for protection, courage and the stilling of hostility. Those facing conflict or negativity often perform a Baglamukhi Havan or continue their Baglamukhi Anushthan through these days at the Nalkheda Baglamukhi Temple.

Quick summary

  • Gupt Navratri Day 3: 17 July 2026; Maa Chandraghanta.

  • Represents: courage, protection, obstacle removal.

  • Mantra: Om Devi Chandraghantayai Namah.

  • Bhog: milk or kheer; red flowers.
