**Amroha, October 16, 2024** – On the third day of Shardiya Navratri, devotees in Amroha thronged temples to offer prayers to Goddess Chandraghanta, the third manifestation of Goddess Durga. From early morning, long queues of devotees were seen at various Devi temples across the city.
Devotees sought blessings from the Goddess for the happiness and prosperity of their families. According to local astrologer Pandit Ashutosh Trivedi, there was a significant rush of devotees at temples dedicated to Goddess Chandraghanta, believed to be the protector of the universe. Devotees offered chunris (ceremonial cloths) and coconuts, praying for the well-being of their loved ones.
Prominent temples like Vasudev Tirtha Sthal, Baba Ganganath Temple, Chamunda Temple, and Durga Temple witnessed large gatherings of devotees throughout the day. At Vasudev Tirtha Sthal, where a Durga Mahotsav is underway, special prayers and a havan (sacrificial fire) were organized in the morning. An evening Bhajan Sandhya (devotional singing) is also planned.
