On
the third day of Navratri, goddess Chandraghanta is worshiped with
great reverence and respect. Chandraghanta - the name derived from
the fact that after marrying Shiva, Parvati adorned her forehead with
half-chandra (lit. moon). She is the embodiment of beauty and is also
symbolic of bravery, and hence, the color of the day is yellow.
