She represents both calmness and strength, and followers believe that her blessings provide courage, peace, and success. The crescent moon on her forehead gives her the name Chandraghanta, and she is regarded as a remover of obstacles who grants inner strength.
Devotees gathered in large numbers at temples across India to offer prayers. Many arrived early in the morning to stand in queues and seek divine blessings.
