Welcome the divine energy of Navratri into your home! Our guide will help you prepare a beautiful altar, find the perfect Mataji murti, and create a truly sacred space for nine nights of joyous devotion.

Inviting the Goddess: Selecting the Perfect Mataji Murti

The heart of your Navratri celebration is the murti of Maa Durga, a sacred symbol of strength and grace. Choosing a murti is a deeply personal act of devotion.

Divine Materials: Marble, Brass, and Eco-Friendly Clay

A marble Durga idol radiates purity and timeless elegance, making it a cherished centerpiece. For a touch of traditional warmth, a brass murti is revered for its durability and classic charm. To honor both the Goddess and nature, an eco-friendly clay idol is a beautiful and conscious choice.

Setting Up Your Altar as per Vastu

According to Vastu Shastra, placing your idol in the north-east (Ishan) corner of your home invites the most positive spiritual energy. Prepare this sacred corner by cleaning it thoroughly and ensuring it remains a peaceful, dedicated space for worship.

Puja Essentials for the Nine Nights of Worship

To perform the Navratri rituals with devotion, ensure you have all the essential puja samagri ready for each of the nine days.

• For Ghatasthapana (Kalash Sthapana): A sacred Kalash (brass or clay pot), holy water, soil for growing barley (Jau), a coconut, and fresh mango leaves.
• For the Akhand Jyot: A beautiful brass lamp (diya), pure ghee, and cotton wicks to keep the light burning continuously, symbolizing the eternal presence of the Goddess.
• Daily Offerings (Samagri): Roli and kumkum for tilak, fresh marigold and hibiscus flowers, fragrant dhoop (incense), and pure camphor (kapur) for the evening Aarti.

Decorating Your Home for a Festive Welcome

Transform your home into a vibrant sanctuary that reflects the joy of the festival.

Illuminate with Sacred Light

Light is a symbol of divinity. Decorate your altar and home entrance with handcrafted terracotta diyas and ornate brass lamps. The warm, flickering glow creates a serene and magical atmosphere perfect for prayer and celebration.
