All about Maa Chandraghanta

The third manifestation of Goddess Durga is called Chandraghanta. Because of the crescent moon shape on his brow, Viraji is known as Chandraghanta in this incarnation. He is shown riding a lion in the Mata Yudh Mudra. He has ten hands full of weapons, including a mace, sword, bow, and trident. According to astrology, Mars represents the motherly role.

The sound of the moonbell on her forehead is said to remove negativity and cleanse the aura. She is the devil of the Manipura Chakra, which is located on the navel, so Navratri days are ideal for those interested in spirituality and yoga.
