All about Rhythms, Colors & Consciousness

Chandraghanta Mata

Navratri is not just a festival—it’s a vibrational shift, a transformation of energy. Each goddess, each color, and each ritual is a key to unlocking a deeper state of consciousness.

On Day 3, we invoke Maa Chandraghanta, the warrior goddess of fearlessness, grace, and divine sound. Her presence awakens inner courage, dispels negativity, and fills the aura with divine protection.

Her associated color is Red—a hue of power, passion, and primal energy. But red is more than just a color—it’s a frequency that activates strength, ignites confidence, and connects us to the rhythm of life itself.

Maa Chandraghanta: The Goddess of Courage & Sound

Maa Chandraghanta is depicted riding a lion, her golden complexion radiant with celestial energy. The crescent moon (Chandra) on her forehead glows like an ethereal beacon, and the resonance of her Ghanta (bell) echoes across dimensions, symbolizing the destruction of fear and negativity.

🔹 What She Holds & Their Meanings:

🕉 Ghanta (Bell) → The power of divine sound vibrations, cleansing negativity and awakening higher consciousness.

🗡 Weapons (Trishul, Sword, Mace, Bow & Arrow) → Mastery over strength, justice, and protection.
