About Mata Ka Chattra
Mata Ka Chattra (Maa Ka Chhatra) is a sacred decorative umbrella placed above the idol of a Goddess as a mark of devotion, honor, and reverence. In Hindu tradition, offering a Chattra symbolizes royal respect and divine protection, as the Goddess is regarded as the supreme mother and queen of the universe.
The Chattra represents shakti (divine feminine energy), blessings, and protection. It enhances the spiritual aura of the deity and completes the traditional temple decoration. Devotees commonly place it above idols of Maa Durga, Maa Lakshmi, Maa Saraswati, Maa Ambe, and other forms of Devi.
Mata Ka Chattra is especially significant during Navratri, Durga Puja, Diwali, and other religious festivals, when devotees beautifully decorate their home temples and pandals. It adds elegance, auspiciousness, and a royal appearance to the Goddess idol.
Placing a Chattra in your mandir is believed to invite prosperity, protection, and divine grace into the home. It is not just a decorative element, but a symbol of deep faith and devotion towards the Divine Mother
