Today on October 5, 2024, marks the third day of Navratri, a nine-day festival celebrated across India. This day is dedicated to worshipping Maa Chandraghanta, the third form of Goddess Durga. Maa Chandraghanta is depicted with a crescent moon on her forehead and is believed to symbolize courage and bravery.
Devotees are encouraged to wear the color grey on this day as it is considered auspicious for Maa Chandraghanta. The shubh muhurat for worshipping her is from 6:03 PM to 7:43 PM. It is said that by chanting the mantra “Om Chandraghantaye Namah” with devotion, devotees can seek her blessings for health, prosperity, and protection.
Navratri is a time for fasting, prayers, and celebrations, where devotees come together to honor the divine feminine energy. Each day of Navratri is dedicated to a different form of Goddess Durga, with each form representing different qualities such as strength, wisdom, and compassion.
As the festivities continue, people across the country are taking part in various rituals and ceremonies to invoke the blessings of Goddess Durga. This year, Navratri holds special significance as it coincides with the unveiling of a new temple dedicated to Goddess Durga in a remote village in Maharashtra.
As we celebrate Navratri and worship Maa Chandraghanta, let us remember the importance of faith, devotion, and gratitude in our lives. May this auspicious festival bring joy, peace, and prosperity to all.
