Ghatasthapana, an important puja performed on the first day of Navratri, is specially recognized in Hinduism. It is the day when people start their preparations for the worship of nine forms of Goddess Durga. The puja on this day involves the worship of a special Kalash (pot) filled with holy water, offering of some special ingredients and placing it at the place of worship. Let’s know the religious glory behind Ghatasthapana and how to do it correctly, along with a little humor, so that the worship on this divine occasion becomes more joyful.
Ghatasthapana is a religious ritual in which holy water is filled in a Kalash (pot) and wrapped with cow dung. Barley seeds are sown in this Kalash and it is placed in a sand pit, which is also filled with barley. A Pandit comes to worship this Kalash, who consecrates it while seeking blessings from Goddess Durga. At this time, Goddess Durga is invited to come to your home. Now you must be thinking, “Does this really work?” Well, yes, as per the belief, this puja brings prosperity, blessings and solutions to every problem in the house.
The importance of Ghatasthapana is not just limited to the puja, but it also has a deep religious significance. On this day, Goddess Shakti is worshipped and her arrival is welcomed. According to our scriptures, if this ritual is performed at the wrong time, one may have to face the wrath of Goddess Shakti. And frankly, who would want the wrath of Goddess Durga… now? Hence, choosing the right time for this puja is very important. It should neither be performed at night nor on Amavasya (dark night), as worshipping Goddess Durga is prohibited at that time.
As we all know, the right muhurat is very important for Ghatasthapana. This year, the auspicious muhurat of Ghatasthapana is on 3rd October 2024, which will fall on Thursday. According to the Hindu calendar, on this day, the Shukla Paksha Pratipada Tithi of Ashwin month is starting, which will start at 12:18 pm and end at 2:58 am on October 4. So this time has been chosen for Ghatasthapana. However, if you cannot perform the puja at this time then there is also the option of Abhijeet Muhurta.
The first day of Navratri is very important, as on this day Mata Shailputri is worshiped, who is worshiped as the first form of Goddess Durga. At the time of Ghatasthapana on this day, a special puja material is used, such as Kalash, barley, turmeric, kumkum, and lamp. It is necessary to include all these things in the puja, so that the puja can be completed without any hindrance.
Now you must be thinking, “Will Goddess Durga really come home by doing all this?” So the answer to this is given very clearly in the scriptures that performing Ghatasthapana with the right rituals definitely brings happiness, peace and prosperity in the house with the blessings of Goddess Durga.
