Mumbai: Shardiya Navratri is one of the most important Hindu festivals, celebrated with deep devotion across India. Each day is dedicated to a different form of Goddess Durga. On the third day, devotees worship Maa Chandraghanta, who represents bravery, serenity, and divine grace. She is depicted with a half-moon shaped like a bell on her forehead, which gives her the name Chandraghanta.

In 2025, the third day of Shardiya Navratri falls on Wednesday, September 24. Interestingly, this year the Tritiya Tithi will last for two days—September 24 and 25. Hence, devotees will get the rare opportunity to observe Maa Chandraghanta’s puja and vrat on both days for double blessings and spiritual strength.
