Step by step Navratri Puja Vidhi

Ghatasthapana: Place the Durga idol in a chowki and near it keep the clay pot with sown barley. Consider doing Ghatasthapana during the Muhurat.

Establish the Kalash: Pour water in a Kalash and then put flowers, coins, and five mango leaves in it. Close it with the lid and put raw rice on top of it and then place a raw coconut wrapped in red cloth. The Ghata Sthapana is done now.

Worship the Goddess: First lit a Diya in front of the idols. Do worship of Kalash or Ghat with Panchopchar. Panchopchar means worship of the deity with five things, i.e. Scent, Flower, Dhoop, Deepak, and Naivedya. Offer these five things to deities present in Ghat.

Chowki Sthapana: You need to install and invoke Goddess Durga. For this, spread the red cloth on chowki. Tie Moli around it. Now place idol or picture of Goddess Durga on the chowki.

Durga Puja: Chant the necessary prayers and invoke Goddess Durga to come and enlighten your home. People pray to the Goddess to establish her for 9 days at their homes. Rituals are done in the usual puja procedure like offering flowers, Chandan, sindoor, bhog, Diya, and much more. Panchopchar is also a part of it where you need to offer five things to the Goddess.

Aarti Of Durga Mata: Take Puja ki Thali and bell in hand. Sing the aarti with jingle the bell. After you complete Durga aarti, give aarti first to Goddess Durga, Ghat (Kalash), and deities present in Ghat. In the evening (sandhya) repeat the Durga aarti again. This is done for all the 9 days. Many people keep fast for all the 9 days and some for the first and last days.

Inviting 9 Goddesses for offerings: On the 9th day of Navratri, people prepare delicious food for 9 girls of age between 5-12, who are invited as Goddesses. This ritual is known as Kanya Puja. After lunch, they are offered gifts as well.

Ghat visarjan on Navratri: After the nine days puja is over, the visarjan or conclusion is done on the tenth day. On the tenth day, clean yourself and be seated in the puja place. Take some flowers and raw rice in your hands and chant the following prayer: “Oh, respected and beloved gods, we thank you for accepting our humble invitation to visit our home, stay over the nine days and bless the puja. We dedicate the nine days of puja to you with full devotion and love. Now you may please leave for your divine abodes and visit us when we pray you again.” Offer the flowers and raw rice to the deities. Slightly move the ghat as a mark of conclusion.

Thank Maa Durga: Now follow the same procedure to thank Maa Durga for visiting your home and accepting the puja using the same format of the mantra given above. Remove the picture or idol of Maa Durga from the altar and place it back in the original permanent place.
