This year, Maa Durga will arrive in Hasta Nakshatra in Sharadiya Navratri. Hasta Nakshatra is considered one of the auspicious constellations in astrology. It is believed that the work done in this constellation yields auspicious results. Talking about the ride, Maa Durga will come on a doli and her departure will be on Charanayudh (rooster). The ride of arrival and departure of Mata Rani is not considered auspicious.
Auspicious time for Kalash Sthapana- Kalash Sthapana or Ghatasthapana is done on the first day of Navratri. This year Kalash Sthapana will be done on October 3. According to Pandit Saurabh Kumar Mishra, Kalash Sthapana can be done throughout the day on October 3. But the Amrit Muhurta of Ghatasthapana will be from 07:16 am to 08:42 am. Abhijeet Muhurta will be from 11:12 am to 11:58 am. During this time, Kalash Sthapana is very fruitful. Kalash Sthapana should always be done in the north-east corner.
Importance of arrival and departure ride of Mata- Due to the beginning of Navratri on Thursday, the ride of arrival of Maa Durga will be a doli, which is considered to be the cause of suffering or destruction. According to astrology, the year in which Maa Durga arrives on a doli, the country is hit by disease, grief and natural calamity. The departure of Mata will be on charanayudha, which is not considered auspicious. It indicates destruction.
