The goddess Chandraghanta derives her name as she has a crescent moon (Chandra) shaped bell adorning her forehead. Aside of being an ornament, the sound of this bell (ghanta) is believed to fill the evil creatures with dread, as she readies herself and advances to vanquish them. Goddess Chandraghanta is depicted as a radiant beauty with golden aura. She is shown having ten arms and three eyes, riding a lion who symbolizes upholding of ‘dharma’ with a fierce passion.
Out of her ten hands, she holds different weapons in eight, one hand is in the abhaya mudra and the other one is wish granting, boon giving pose. This is the day when the meditation is centred on the Manipur Chakra or the Solar plexus. Manipur literally means the “city of gemsâ€. In this meditation, you have the potential to discover the richness inherent within your being. The core of the chakra is a fiery triangle contained within the centre if a dashdalpadma or the 10 petalled lotus with dark blue petals.
