In Shardiya Navratri, the first act involves worshiping Goddess Durga, which commences through a ritual called Ghatasthapana or Kalash Sthapana. The Kalash signifies the presence of divine Shakti and starts off a period of nine days of praying, fasting, and devotion. The devotees who will be celebrating Navratri on October 11, 2026 can get prepared for this ritual through looking up the local muhurat, setting up the puja items, and the rules of installing the Kalash.
