What Is Ghatsthapana?
This is a very important ritual marking the beginning of the nine-day festival that takes place on Pratipada Tithi, the first day. It is an invocation of Goddess Shakti and doing it at the wrong time can lead to Goddess Shakti’s wrath.
Ghatasthapana means invoking the Shakti element present in the universe during Ghat, i.e., Kalash and activating it. Due to the element of the Shakti, the painful waves present in the Vastu are destroyed.
