Rules for Kalash Sthapana

 

Selection of auspicious time

 

The time of 'Ghat Sthapana' on the first day of Navratri holds special importance. It is necessary to do it at an auspicious time, which is usually done at sunrise or in Abhijeet Muhurta. Kalash Sthapana done in an auspicious time is considered auspicious and fruitful.

 

Selection of holy place

 

For Kalash Sthapana, the place of worship must be pure and clean. The place of worship is sanctified with Gangajal or pure water. Then a red cloth is spread on a stool and the Kalash is placed on it.

 

Worship of Kalash

 

Mango leaves are placed on the Kalash and a coconut is wrapped in a red cloth and tied to it. It is then placed on the Kalash. Gangajal or clean water is filled in the Kalash and duly worshipped by adding betel nut, coins, akshat (rice) durva, etc. It is established as the abode of the goddess.

 

Sowing barley

 

Along with the Kalash installation, there is also a tradition of sowing barley. Barley is symbolically considered a symbol of happiness, prosperity, and fertility. It is sown in an earthen pot and its growth is considered an auspicious sign.

 

Sapta Jal Ki Dhara

 

In some traditions, the Kalash is filled with water using Sapta Jal Dhara, which includes the water of Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswati, Godavari, Narmada, Sindhu, and Kaveri. If this is not possible, then the use of Gangajal is also considered sufficient.

 

Direction and location of Kalash

It is considered auspicious to place the Kalash in the north-east direction. It is placed in the puja place of the house and is kept stationary during the puja.

 

Puja after Kalash Sthapana

After Kalash Sthapana, Goddess Durga is worshipped for nine days. Every day one form of the Goddess is worshipped and the Sadhak observes fast, meditates, and worships regularly. After nine days of worship, the Kalash is immersed on the day of Dashami on the festival of 'Vijayadashami'.
