Rules for Kalash Stapana
Ghat or Kalash Stapana is an important ritual during Navratri. It is said that doing this eliminates all the negative energy spread in the house. The auspicious time for setting up the Kalash this year is from 6.11 am to 7.51 am on 26 September 2022. The northeast direction is considered to be the most auspicious for setting up the Kalash.
Place a pot by sprinkling Gangajal in this direction of the puja room and install a picture or idol of Maa Durga by laying a red cloth on it. Now place the holy soil in an earthen pot and sow the seeds of barley. Then fill Gangajal in a copper or earthen pot and put akshat, betel nut, coin, a pair of cloves and durva grass in it.
Tie Kalawa on the neck of the Kalash and wrap a red chunari around a coconut. Tie it with Kalava and put mango leaves in the Kalash and place the coconut on it. Then place the urn on the pot containing barley and establish the urn on the right side of Maa Durga. Worship Goddess Durga after setting up the Kalash.
