Who is Maa Chandraghanta?
The third form worshipped during the nine-day Navratri festival, Chandraghanta is depicted with a half-moon ('chandra') shaped like a bell ('ghanta') on her forehead. She is revered as a symbol of bravery, grace, and the destroyer of evil — qualities invoked by devotees seeking courage and serenity in daily life.
Shardiya Navratri, observed in the autumn month of Ashwin, is among the most widely celebrated Hindu festivals across Haryana and the broader North Indian belt, with homes and temples resonating with devotional music and collective prayer through all nine days.
