Shardiya Navratri 2024: Today is the third day of Shardiya Navratri on 5 October 2024. This day is considered dedicated to the worship of Chandraghanta Mata, the third form of Goddess Durga. Chandraghanta Maa has 10 hands and her vehicle is a lion. Kamandal, lotus, mace, trident, arrow, bow, sword and sword are present in the hands of the mother. Wearing a garland of white flowers, a crown studded with gems sits on the mother’s head. There is a religious belief that Mother Chandraghanta is the married form of Goddess Parvati. After marriage with Lord Bholenath, she started decorating the half moon on her forehead. Therefore this form of Goddess Durga is called Maa Chandraghanta. Worshiping Mother Chandraghanta is considered very auspicious for attaining happiness and good fortune. On this day, along with worshiping Mother Chandraghanta, also read her special aarti.

Aarti of Maa Chandraghanta
Jai Maa Chandraghanta Sukh Dham.
Who completed all my work.
You give coolness like the moon.
The moon is engulfed in bright rays.
Calming anger.
One who teaches sweet words.
May the mistress of your heart please you.
Moon Hour, you are a blessing.
Bringing beautiful feelings.
The one who saves in every crisis.
Every Wednesday that remembers you.
Whoever recites the prayer with reverence.
Make the idol moon shape.
Light a ghee flame in front of you.
Bow your head and say whatever is on your mind.
Have full hope, Jagdata.
Kanchipur is your place.
You are respected in Karnataka.
Recite your name, Maharani.
Bhavani, protect the devotee.
