"THIRD NAVRATRI- THE DAY OF MAA CHANDRAGHANTA"
The third day of the Navratri Festival is dedicated to Maa Chandrghanta, which signifies Peace, Calmness & Purity. According to the Vedic Texts, Maa Chandrghanta is believed to be the 'SHAKTI' of Lord Shiva who is also referred to as the "Married" form of Devi Parvati. She is known to protect Her devotees from all types of the evil spirits and has a Half-moon(Shaped like a Temple's Bell) sitting on Her forehead.
The Hindu Religious History says that Maa Chandrghanta was known as Devi Sati in her previous birth. In this Incarnation, She was married to Lord Shiva and had even sacrificed her life when her father Daksha Prajapati had once deliberately insulted her husband publically. Thereafter, She was born as Parvati(Tge daughter of Mountains) and observed very rigorous Penance to seek blessings of marrying Lord Shiva. Because of Her continued devotion & dedication, She came to be known as Maa Brahmacharini and Lord Shiva agreed to marry Her.
