Ashadha Gupt Navratri 2023: Rules and regulations fixed for Ghatasthapana
Ghatasthapana is one of the important rituals of Navratri. It marks the beginning of the nine days of Durga Puja. In our scriptures, there are rules and regulations for doing Ghatasthapana during a certain period at the beginning of Navratri. Ghatasthapana is an invocation of Goddess Shakti and doing it at the wrong time can lead to wrath of Goddess Shakti, as stated in our scriptures.

We also consider the Lagna and try to include Dvi-Swabhava Lagna (Dwi Svabhava Lagna) in the calculated Muhurta. During Sharadiya Navratri, dual-natured Lagna Virgo is dominant at sunrise and if suitable, we take it for Ghatasthapana Muhurta.
