The third day is known as Tritiya.

This day commemorates the worship of Chandraghanta.

Chandraghanta is the name derived after Goddess Parvati married Lord Shiva. Goddess Parvati adorned her forehead with the “Ardha Chandra”, meaning the “half-moon”. “Chandra” means the ” moon”, hence the goddess is named ” Chandraghanta”.

She is the embodiment of beauty and also symbolizes bravery.

Day Three: Chandraghanta | चन्द्रघण्टा

Chandraghanta represents Parvati on her wedding day. Parvati was given this title by Mahadeva himself, due to her wish to have Chandra, the Moon God, adorn her  forehead, as her Lord was adorned by the crescent moon upon his crown of matted locks, giving rise to his name Chandrashekhara.

Her fierce form is capable of destroying obstacles both on the inner path as well as the outside world. Her devotees easily achieve success in life. She bestows divine vision on them. Sometimes they hear divine fragrances and sounds.
