Goddess Chandraghanta!!

The third manifestation of Durga is Goddess Chandraghanta.

She is depicted as a fierce 10-armed Goddess, roaring in anger. Chandraghanta is worshiped on the third day of Navratri.

She has a golden complexion and on her forehead she wears a crescent moon, which is why she is called Chandraghanta by her devotees.

According to scriptures during a great battle between gods and the demons, the sound vibrations produced by her ghanta (bell) took the lives of many wicked enemies.

She rides on a lion and is believed to destroy all evil and wicked.

The ferocious Goddess is pleased by offering milk, sweets or kheer.
Jai Mata di!!
