Navratri Ghatasthapana Puja Vidhi:
Before starting the Ghat Sthapana , you should clean the area where you want to perform Ghatasthapana puja. Try to choose this place in your home’s temple or close to worship area. For Ghatasthapana Puja Vidhi, there are some rules and guidelines, which devotees should follow.
1 - Ghat Sthapana is the first step of Navratri Puja. During the puja time, place a chowki of the Goddess. Sit peacefully beside the chowki. Put a wide clay pot near the chowki in order to sow barley seeds.
2 - Put the layer of the spoil into the wide clay pot and sow the grain seeds. Again put a layer of soil then show the seeds and finally add more soil over it. Sprinkle water on it.
3 - Tie the sacred thread on Kalash. Take the ghat (Kalash) and pour holy Ganges water. Put flower, scent, coins as well as five leaves of Mango on the top of the kalash. Also, put a lid and fill it up with raw rice. Place a coconut wrapped in a red cloth on it, tie moli around it. Thereafter, place the kalash on the wide clay pot. This kalash is believed to be a symbolic form of goddess Durga.
4 - Light a lamp and worship Goddess Durga and all other Gods. Invoke the Goddess and pray to them to destroy all problems and give them wisdom. Worship the Kalash with Panchopchar, which signifies worshipping the deity with five elements- flower, scent, Deepak, Dhoop and naivedya. Put the things near the kalash.
