About Chaitra Navratra Begins, Shukla Paksha Pratipada, Shailaputri Puja 2025
Shailaputri Puja
Navratri is a period of nine days in which the nine Durga are worshiped as the divine feminine known as "Nava Durga". An incarnation of Goddess Durga is worshiped every day during Navratri.
The Form of Shailaputri
The first incarnation of Mother “Parvati” is Shailaputri, who is depicted with two hands and a crescent moon on her forehead. He has a trident in his right hand and a lotus flower in his left hand. She rides a bull named Nandi.
Ghata Sthapana
The first day of Navratri holds special significance. On this day, there is a ritual of worshiping the first form of Mata Rani, Mata Shailputri. Navratri Puja begins with Ghatasthapana (Navratri 2024 Puja Samagri List). It is believed that if Ghatasthapana is done with full rituals, then it brings Mata Rani to the devotee's house. In such a situation, do include these things in the material of Ghatasthapana, so that there is no hindrance in your worship.
