Shardiya Navratri 2025 To Begin With Solar Eclipse, Devotees Wonder About Ghatasthapana Ritual Timing

Navratri 2025 Ghatasthapana Shubh Muhurat: Navratri i.e. the great festival of worship of Goddess Durga is just about to begin, but the special thing this time is that just before the beginning of Navratri, the last solar eclipse of the year is also falling. In astrological beliefs, many questions arise in the minds of people regarding the coincidence of eclipse and festivals. The biggest question is whether the solar eclipse will affect the Ghatasthapana (Kalash Sthapana) of Navratri this time? Will the Kalash Sthapana not be done?

Coincidence of Solar Eclipse and Sharadiya Navratri

The last solar eclipse of this year will begin at 11 pm on 21 September 2025 and will end at 3:23 am on 22 September 2025. This time is on the first day of Navratri i.e. on the morning of 22 September. In such a situation, this coincidence is creating confusion among the people.

Will the solar eclipse affect Navratri?

The direct and clear answer to this question is no. According to astrologers, this solar eclipse is not visible in India. The effect of any eclipse is considered only when it is visible in that area. Since this eclipse will not be visible in India, it will not have any negative effect on religious activities, worship or festivals here. Therefore, do not worry at all about this solar eclipse. You can worship Maa Durga with full devotion and enthusiasm and perform all the rituals of Navratri on time.

Effect of solar eclipse on Ghatasthapana Muhurta?

Performing Ghatasthapana on the first day of Navratri is one of the most important rituals. It is also called Kalash Sthapana. In the scriptures, it is advised to perform Ghatasthapana in a specific period at the beginning of Navratri. Since this solar eclipse will not be visible in India, you will be able to perform Ghatasthapana without any problem in the fixed auspicious time. The auspicious time for Ghatasthapana in Navratri is very important because it marks the beginning of the worship of the entire nine days.
