The third day of Navratri is dedicated to the ๐๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ด๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฎ. ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ด๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฎ is depicted with a half-moon shaped like a bell on her brow, which corresponds to the origin of her given name. After her marriage to Lord Shiva, she decorated her forehead with a half-moon symbol. On the third day of the festival, she is worshipped by her devotees for bringing them peace and success in their lives.
She is described as having ten hands and three eyes, and she mounts a tigress on her back. Her four left hands are occupied by Trishul, Gada, sword, and Kamadalu, while her fifth hand is occupied by Varadamudra, the Goddess of victory. A lotus flower, an arrow, Dhanush, and Japa mala are held in her right fourth hand, and her fifth right hand is held in Abhaya Mudra, which means "๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ๐ป๐๐"
