It is believed that Ghatasthapana brings more power and energy to devotees’ life. According to Drik Panchang, our scriptures have well-defined rules and guidelines to perform Ghatasthapana during a certain period of time at the beginning of Navratri. Ghatasthapana is an invocation of Goddess Shakti and doing it wrong time, as our scriptures forewarn, might bring the wrath of the Goddess Shakti.
The most auspicious or Shubh time to do Ghatasthapana is the first one-third of the day while Pratipada is prevailing.
The nine-day long festival begins with Ghatasthapana. Devotees place a Kalash in an earthen pot tied with a sacred thread at the neck of the pot and filled with layers of soil and grains inside it.
Things to Keep in Mind for Kalash Sthapana:
Do not use steel or plastic Kalash, instead use a copper, bronze, brass or silver Kalash. Make sure you have a brown coconut with its husk, mango leaves, Haldi, Kumkum Chandan, water, a few coins, fresh flowers and lastly a red chunari.
Shubh Muhurat for Ghatasthapana
The shubh muhurat of Ghatasthapana or Kalash Sthapana this time is from 6.22 am to 8.31 am on Saturday, April 2, 2022.
