Maha Chandi represents the supreme and all-powerful aspect of the goddess Chandi, who is invoked for protection, strength, and the removal of obstacles. Devotees often recite prayers, chant mantras, and perform rituals dedicated to Maha Chandi to seek her blessings and guidance in overcoming challenges in life.
