3. Maa Chandraghanta

Worshipped on the 3rd night

CHANDRAGHANTA (Lunargong) - Day 3

पिण्डजप्रवरारूढा चन्दकोपास्त्रकैर्युता 
प्रसादं तनुते मह्मं चन्द्रघण्देति विश्रुता 

Ma Chandraghanta establishes justice ever virtuously,
Who is seated on the best among birds [Garuda] visibly,
Who is furious with anger and strength unquestionably,
Who is famous for saving from danger all her devotees. [3]

Ma Durga Shakti is astride a tiger, displays a golden hue to her skin, possesses ten hands and 3 eyes. Eight of her hands display weapons while the remaining two are respectively in the mudras of gestures of boon giving and stopping harm. Chandra + Ghanta, meaning supreme bliss and knowledge, showering peace and serenity, like cool breeze in a moonlit night
Mother Chandraghanta
