Haridwar : Navratri, celebrated across different parts of India, is a vibrant festival that spans nine days. Beginning the day after the Amavasya of the Purtasi month, Navratri is a time of devotion, reflection, and celebration.
Key Dates for Navratri This year, Navratri commences on 15th October and culminates with the Saraswati Puja on 23rd October, followed by Vijayadashami on 24th October.
Navratri Traditions: Kalash, Kolu, and Worship During Navratri, households come alive with the rituals of Kalash or Kolu. Over the nine days, the divine feminine is venerated: Goddess Durga is worshipped during the initial three days, Goddess Lakshmi graces the next three, and the festival concludes with three days dedicated to Goddess Saraswati. To invite and honor these deities, it’s imperative to maintain a clean and pure environment in one’s home.
Vastu Tips for Navratri: Purifying Your Home As per Vastu Shastra, certain items can attract negative energy. To ensure a harmonious Navratri celebration, it’s recommended to cleanse your home of these items:
- Broken Statues: Keeping damaged idols or statues can invite troubles. If there are any broken figurines or representations of deities in your home, it’s best to remove them immediately.
- Worn-out Slippers: Old, unused footwear can be a source of negative energy. If you have slippers or shoes that are no longer in use, consider discarding them. If they’re still wearable, think about donating.
- Shattered Mirrors: Broken mirrors can amplify negative energies. If there’s a cracked mirror in your home, dispose of it before Navratri to ensure positive vibes during your celebrations.
- Non-functional Clocks: While a non-working clock might be aesthetically pleasing, it can be a magnet for adverse energies. Before Navratri, remove or repair any clocks that have stopped working to avoid obstacles and ensure the blessings of Goddess Durga.
Conclusion: Preparing for a Blessed Navratri Navratri is a time for spiritual rejuvenation and celebration. By adhering to these Vastu guidelines, you can ensure that your home is a conducive space for divine blessings and positive energies.
