Chandra or moon signifies the mind. The mind is filled with various thoughts and emotions similar to the waxing and waning of the moon.Ghanta is a bell, a musical instrument that emits only one kind of sound.

Thus, when the mind which is dispersed and entangled comes to one point devine energy gets centred and rises upward.

Hence, Chandraghanta, (the bell of the moon) implies that the mind is also a manifestation of mother devine. Thus, it means that we need to get all our thoughts together and bring them to one point like a single sound of a bell.
