Story of Mother Chandraghanta (Maa Chandraghanta Katha)

According to mythology, Maa Durga took the form of Maa Chandraghanta to end the growing terror of demons . The demon Mahishasura had usurped the throne of Devraj Indra and wanted to rule in heaven. Knowing his desire, the gods and goddesses became worried. In this problem, the gods and goddesses sought the help of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. Hearing this, the Tridev became angry. Due to this anger, the energy generated from the mouth of the three led to the birth of a goddess. Mahadev, the god of gods, gave a trident and Vishnu ji gave his chakra. In the same way, all the gods and goddesses also handed over their weapons to the mother. At the same time, Indra, the king of heaven, gave his one bell to the mother. After this, Maa Chandraghanta confronted Mahishasura to kill him. Seeing this form of the mother, Mahishasura realized that his end was near. Mahishasura attacked Mata Rani. Then Maa Chandraghanta killed Mahishasura. In this way, the mother protected the gods.
