Ghatasthapana is one of the significant rituals during Navratri.
🎯During Ghatasthapana, people fill "holy water" in a Kalash (pot).
🎯It marks the beginning of nine days of festivity.
🎯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 Dashain period runs from the “no moon” of the Hindu month of Ashvin and culminates on the full moon of the same month.
🎯The pot is worshipped twice a day, every day till the festival is over, by a family member.
🎯The Kalash is kept from the sunlight, and holy water is added daily. This activity results in a long, yellowish grass growing from the pot called "Jamara."
Many rituals followed during Ghatasthapana are kept private.
