The first day of Navratri is called Ghatasthapana, which is also known as Kalash Sthapana. It is the day when the festival begins, and it is devoted to the worship of Maa Durga and her nine avatars, known as Navadurga. On this day, people install a pot at a sanctified place at home, which is known as Ghatasthapana. The pot is worshipped for the remaining days of Navratri in the right Muhurta. The rituals begin with Ghatasthapana or Kalash Sthapana, and during the puja, devotees light a diya (lamp) for nine days near the pot. On the first day of Navratri, devotees worship Maa Shailputri, who is the embodiment of the divine energy and power. She is considered the absolute form of Mother Nature and is also known as Parvati or Hemavati. The color associated with the first day of Navratri is yellow, signifying happiness, positivity, and purity. Devotees worship Devi Shailputri to seek her blessings for strength, courage, and protection.
