The goddess had a half-moon-shaped bell on her forehead that produced a loud, terrifying sound that scared away the demon&#8217;s armies. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Mahishasura was infuriated by the sound, and he sent his most powerful demon, Raktabeej, to fight against the goddess. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">However, Goddess Chandraghanta easily defeated Raktabeej with her weapons and divine powers. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">After the victory over Raktabeej, the goddess continued to battle Mahishasura and ultimately defeated him on the ninth day of the battle.
