The third day of Navratri is dedicated to Goddess Chandraghanta. Chandraghanta, has 10 arms and uses a lion as her vehicle. Goddess Chandraghanta embodies fearlessness and courage. She is ten armed and symbolizes bravery and is often represented holding an assortment of weapons in her hands. The presence of Chandra or half-moon that is shaped like a Ghanta or bell on her forehead is the reason she is called Chandraghanta. It was the sound of her Ghanta or bell that drove away the Asuras.
