Ghatsthapana, also called Kalash sthapana, is the auspicious ritual that is formally performed at the beginning of Navaratri, a nine-day festival. The day is dedicated to honoring Divine Mother Durga in her different forms.
The ritual consists of the installation of a sanctified pot (kalasha), indicating the cosmic womb of creation and the invitation of shakti, the supreme feminine energy, into our lives and homes.
The ritual is deeply rooted in Hindu culture, and it’s also affirmed in the Grihya sutras and enriched with narratives and symbolism from the Puranas. On the first day of Pratipada, which is the waxing phase of the moon in the Ashwin month, kalash sthapana is performed.
As per the Vedic scriptures, the ritual should be performed during a particular time period to ensure its effectiveness. Observing it at the wrong time may be believed to bring inauspicious results or the anger of the goddess.
The ritual starts with the selection of a clean, purified space for this. A layer of sacred soil is kept in a clay pot, showing the fertile ground of life.
The sown barely seed in the soil, which will sprout over the nine days of Navaratri, represents growth and prosperity. It embodies the divine presence and serves as a important point for honoring throughout the festival.

Significance of Navratri Ghatsthapana E-Puja
The procedure of Kalash sthapana, which is another name of Ghatsthapan, a finds its conceptual origin in the Vedas, where the clay pot is often termed as a symbol of fertility, auspiciousness, and life energy.
The pot filled with water in Rigvedic hymns is invoked as a place of deities, especially in household rituals as described in the Grihya sutras such as Asvalayana and Sankhayana.
These texts instruct that the domestic fire ritual and kalash work as intermediaries between the worshipper and the goddess.
According to the Puranic corpus, mainly the Vayu Purana and Bhavishya Purana, Ghatsthapana is explained as an important first step in invoking the Goddess during the Sharad and Chaitra Navaratri.
The pot is considered to hold within the essence of Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Indra, and the Navagrahas, which makes it a microcosm of the world.
People who honor the Goddess Durga during Navaratri may do so in one of her different incarnations, like Shailputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Skanda Mata, Katyayani, Maha Gauri, Kushmanda, or Siddhidayini.
To perform the ritual in accordance with the tradition, families and friends come together to seek blessings. People in Gujarat perform the dandiya dance and offer prayers as a part of it.
