Every year, people across India gather together to celebrate Chaitra Navratri, a nine-day celebration dedicated to the great goddess Durga. Each day of Navratri is dedicated to a different form of Durga, each with its own unique features and blessings.
The sacred festival of Navratri celebrates Goddess Durga in nine different incarnations. People worship Mother Chandraghanta on Navratri's third day. Mother Durga is revered as the bringer of peace and prosperity in the Devi Bhagwat Purana. Worshipping Chandraghna Pushpa Devi is thought to enhance your brightness and magnificence.
Mata Chandraghanta is also referred to as Chandrakhand, Chandika, and Ranchandi. The mother's name, Chandraghanta, comes from the hour-shaped full moon on her brow. It is thought that the Goddess of Mercy is carrying a trident, sword, and mace to alleviate her devotees' grief.
This version of the goddess is thought to promote reflection. Here you will learn about the worship method and the Bhog of Chandraghna Devi on the third day of Navratri.

Now apply kumkum and akshat tilak to Maa Chandraghanta. To worship Mother Goddess properly, put flowers around her picture.
Mother Chandraghanta loves yellow; hence, she receives flowers and prasad of this color. Before finishing the puja, chant the worship mantras of Goddess Chandraghanta. After that, say Durga Saptashati and Chandraghanta Mata Aarti.

Maa Chandraghanta likes milky kheer and other delicacies. As a result, on this day, offer and donate milk-based items to Brahmins. This invites peace and richness into the home.
