For the last few years, there has been increasing confusion about all the festivals because the dates of celebrating them have been changing due to the correct dates and Muhurta. In such a situation, the misunderstanding on when this Navratri is starting should be cleared in time. Shardiya Navratri, one of the most sacred festivals of Sanatan Dharma, is starting in a few days i.e. from September 26, 2022, which will be celebrated till October 4, 2022. At the same time, the Dussehra festival will be celebrated on 5 October. The nine forms of Maa Durga are worshiped during the nine days of Navratri dedicated to the various forms of Goddess Adishakti.
Although nine days are considered very auspicious, the Ghat Sthapna and the first worship done within the auspicious time is considered fruitful. In such a situation, we are telling the time of auspicious time for worship that from 3:15 in the morning Pratipada date i.e. the first day of Navratri will start.

On the other hand, the second auspicious time is in Abhijeet Muhurta between 11.49 am to 12.37 am. According to astrology, Abhijeet Muhurta is considered to be the best time for setting up the vase. Everything gets accomplished in this Muhurta.
The auspicious time for Ghat establishment or first worship will be between 6.11 am to 8 am. In the auspicious time, welcome the mother by lighting a lamp of cow’s ghee, reciting Durga Chalisa, and giving Guggal’s incense on the cow’s cow.
