Chandraghanta Aarti
Chandraghanta Aarti is sung in worship of Goddess Chandraghanta, the third form of Navadurga worshipped on the third day of Navaratri. She bears a crescent moon (Chandra) on her forehead shaped like a bell (Ghanta), rides a tiger, and carries ten weapons. Her bell-shaped moon emits a fearsome sound that destroys evil. This Aarti invokes her to remove sins, grant courage, and bestow divine grace.

जय चंद्रघंटा माता जय चंद्रघंटा माता। मस्तक चंद्र विराजे, घंटा-नाद त्राता॥
॥ 1 ॥
दस भुजा में शस्त्र धरे, व्याघ्र-वाहन वाली। त्रिशूल-धनुष-खड्ग लिए, दुर्गति-विनाशाली॥ जय चंद्रघंटा माता जय चंद्रघंटा माता। मस्तक चंद्र विराजे, घंटा-नाद त्राता॥

पाप-ताप दूर करो माँ, भक्तों को निहारो। नवरात्रि तृतीया को, दर्शन दो हमारो॥ जय चंद्रघंटा माता जय चंद्रघंटा माता। मस्तक चंद्र विराजे, घंटा-नाद त्राता॥

भय-भ्रम-शत्रु नाशो माँ, साहस दो अपारा। चंद्रघंटा की आरती गाएँ, बार-बार हमारा॥ जय चंद्रघंटा माता जय चंद्रघंटा माता। मस्तक चंद्र विराजे, घंटा-नाद त्राता॥
Frequently Asked Questions
Q.What is the significance of the crescent moon on Chandraghanta's forehead?
The half-moon (Chandra) on Chandraghanta's forehead is shaped precisely like a bell (Ghanta), which is the source of her name. The moon in this form symbolizes both the calming, compassionate energy of Chandra and the fierce, alarm-sounding power of the bell. Just as a temple bell dispels negative energies and calls devotees to attention, her moon-bell announces the defeat of evil and the arrival of divine grace.
Q.Why is Chandraghanta worshipped on the third day of Navaratri?
The nine days of Navaratri follow the soul's journey from material existence toward liberation. The first two forms (Shailaputri and Brahmacharini) establish grounding and discipline. Chandraghanta, the third form, represents the active warrior phase — the point where the seeker, now grounded and disciplined, confronts inner demons and external obstacles with courage. Her worship empowers the devotee to move forward fearlessly.
