If you install Kalash in Navratri, then know the important rules related to Ghatasthapana

Navratri will start from 26th September and will continue till 4th October. Dussehra, the festival of victory of truth over falsehood, will be celebrated on 5 October.

This holy festival dedicated to Maa Adishakti begins with the establishment of Kalash or Ghatasthapana on the first day of Navratri. Ghatasthapana on the first day of Navratri has special significance. This year Ghatasthapana will be done on the 26th of September 2022, Monday. This year Ghatasthapana Muhurta will be from 06.11 am to 07.51 am on September 26. Its duration will be 01 hours 40 minutes. Apart from this, the Abhijit Muhurta of Ghatasthapana will be from 11.48 am to 12.36 pm. Its duration will be 48 minutes.

Set up Kalash in this way:

The Kalash should be established in the northeast direction of the temple and the Kalash should be established by placing the Goddess picture or idol. First of all, sanctify that place by sprinkling Gangajal. Then make a swastika with red color on the wooden post and install the Kalash. Place a mango leaf in the Kalash and fill it with water or Gangajal. Also put a betel nut, some coins, durva, and a lump of turmeric in the urn. Wrap a coconut on the face of the Kalash with a red cloth. Make an octagon out of rice i.e. Akshat and keep the idol of Maa Durga. Cover them with red or pink chunni. Along with the installation of the Kalash, the installation of a monolithic lamp is also done. Worship Maa Shailputri after setting up the Kalash. After meditating on Maa Shailputri with red flowers and rice in hand, chant the mantra and offer flowers and rice at the feet of the goddess. The bhog that should be made for Maa Shailputri should be made from cow’s ghee. Or simply by offering cow’s ghee, one also gets rid of diseases and troubles.

Special Mantra: Om Aim Hreem Klein Chamundayai Vichai (ऊं ऐं ह्रीं क्लीं चामुण्डायै विच्चै). Chant this mantra with good wishes.
