According to the Vedic calendar, the calculation of dates in Hinduism is determined by the movement of the Sun and the Moon, whereas in the English calendar, the duration of a day is only 24 hours. Navratri arrives four times in the Samvat, in which fasts of Prakat Navratri and Gupt Navratri are observed twice. As soon as the Pitru Paksha is completed in the month of Ashwin, Sharadiya Navratri starts from the Pratipada of Shukla Paksha, and the nine forms of Durga, the goddess of power, are worshiped.

When is Navratri starting

In the year 2025, Shadi Navratri will start from 22 September. During this time, only after doing Ghat Sthapana, worshiping the goddess of power, fasting, etc., of Maa Durga, the goddess of power, will give full benefit. Giving complete information about Ghat Sthapana in Navratri, Haridwar's learned religious leader Pandit Shridhar Shastri says that Navratri arrives four times in the Samvat for human welfare, in which fasts of Gupt Navratri and Prakat Navratri are observed twice.

Fasts are observed only after the Ghat establishment.
Before starting the fasts of all Navratri, fasts are observed only after Ghat establishment in the Pratipada of Shukla Paksha with rituals. In the year 2025, Sharadiya Navratri will start from Monday, September 22. On this day, after establishing Ghat in the auspicious time, fasts will be observed for Goddess Durga.

Importance of Ghat establishment
It is very important to have some items for the Ghat establishment. It is very important to have sesame, barley, soil, red or yellow cloth, durva, Kalawa, Ganga water, betel nut, Akshat, coin, mango leaves, Shriphal, and Kalash in the Ghat establishment. Spread clean soil in a leaf and put barley in it, and make another layer of soil on top.

What is the auspicious time?
Tie Kalawa on the Kalash and put Ganga water, Akshat, betel nut, coin, etc. inside it, and place mango leaves on it, and tie Kalawa on the coconut and keep it. After performing this religious ritual of Ghat Sthapana, there is a religious belief that all wishes will be fulfilled by invoking Goddess Durga, performing Puja Paath, and Aarti.
