Navratri 2020 Ghatasthapana is an auspicious ritual carried ahead of the nine-day festival dedicated to Goddess Durga and her nine avatars, known as Navadurga. Devotees invoke Maa Durga to reside in their houses for nine days and bless them all so the festival can be carried out with utmost sincerity and devotion. Ghatasthapana (sthapana of a ghat), which literally means ‘mounting of a jar’ is the most common Navratri tradition in Maharashtra. People mount a copper or brass jar, filled with water, upon a small heap of rice kept on a wooden stool (pat). Along with the jar, other items such as turmeric root, leaves of a mango tree, coconut and major staple grains are placed. They also light a diya or lamp, which is supposed to be kept alight through the nine nights of Navratri. It is symbolic of knowledge and prosperity. Navratri 2020 Dates & List of Colours PDF Free Download Online: Full Schedule of Navratri And 9 Colours to Wear on Each Day of the Festival Celebrating Goddess Durga.
