Shardiya Navratri 2023 Ghatasthapana Muhurat: Navratri is a very prominent festival for the devotees of Goddess Durga, who is associated with feminine energy, and power. Chaitra and Sharadiya Navratri have great importance in Hinduism.

During this period of Navratri, nine forms of Goddess are worshiped with complete rituals. It is believed that Maa Durga comes to earth during Navratri from Mount Kailash and fulfills the wishes of all her devotees.

This year, in 2023, Navratri is going to start from 15 October 2023 and it will end with Dussehra on 24 October 2023. The second and last solar eclipse of this year is going to occur on 14 October 2023. Let us know whether the solar eclipse will have an effect on Navratri as well.

Will The Solar Eclipse Affect Navratri?
Due to it being a date, there is a situation of doubt in the minds of people. But if experts are to be believed, the solar eclipse will have no effect on the worship of Shardiya Navratri.

Navratri puja begins with Ghatasthapana i.e. installation of Kalash. This work is done keeping in mind the shubh muhurat. Ghatasthapana puja will take place only after the solar eclipse ends. This work is necessary before Ghatasthapana after the solar eclipse.

Eclipse is not considered auspicious in Hinduism. During this period, religious activities were also prohibited. In such a situation, after the eclipse ends, sprinkle Ganga water in the entire house. Ganga water is said to purify the puja room and the Tulsi plant. Also, you can take a bath yourself and wear clean clothes. After this, you can also perform Ghatasthapana puja with full rituals.
