Shardiya Navratri 2025 Puja Samagri: Ghatasthapana Materials, Vidhi, and Auspicious Time

Shardiya Navratri is one of the most sacred Hindu festivals dedicated to Goddess Durga and her nine divine forms, known as Navadurga. In 2025, Shardiya Navratri will begin on September 22 and conclude on October 2 (Dussehra). This year, devotees will observe 10 days of worship instead of 9, as the fourth Navratri will be celebrated over two days.

The festival starts with Ghatasthapana (Kalash Sthapana), an important ritual that marks the invocation of Goddess Durga’s energy. Performing it with proper materials and during the right muhurat is considered highly auspicious.
