Significance of
Maa Chandraghanta Puja on Navratri Day 3
Maa Chandraghanta worship is traditionally associated with courage, fearlessness, protection and inner calm. Devotees turn to her on the third day of Navratri as they continue the spiritual discipline begun on the first two days.
Her form reminds devotees that spiritual strength is not only about power but also about maintaining peace and awareness while facing difficulties. Navratri Day 3 can therefore be observed as a time for focused prayer, disciplined Sadhana and sincere Devi worship.
COURAGE
