On the first day of Navratri, which is dedicated to Goddess Shailputri, it is customary to offer Desi Ghee as Prasad to receive the blessings of Maa Shailputri who embodies the power of Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh. In addition to offering Prasad, people also perform Ghatasthapana or Kalash Sthapana to seek divine blessings from Goddess Durga and decorate their homes and worship Goddess Shailputri by following pooja rituals and Chant Mantras. The Prasad can be prepared by roasting peanuts and coarsely grinding them, and then heating ghee and adding jeera, green chillies, ginger, tomatoes, and diced potatoes.
