Navratri Puja Samagri: What to Order, Buy Fresh and Prepare at Home

Kalash Sthapana Samagri for Day 1

Kalash Sthapana, also called Ghatasthapana (घटस्थापना), begins Navratri at home. Have the grain pot, soil, Jau, Kalash and Ganga Jal ready before Day 1.

Order dry materials early. Buy leaves, flowers, Phool Mala and Durva close to the Puja date. Traditional Ghatasthapana preparation uses a clay pot, soil, grains, Kalash, leaves, coconut, cloth, flowers and Durva. Drikpanchang

Morning Puja and evening Aarti use tilak, diya and offering materials. Count both Aarti sessions and the number of diyas before choosing pack sizes.

Some homes follow a longer Puja list. Add Janeu, Gomutra, Abir or Panchratna only when your list names them.

For Maa Durga Shringar, arrange Chunari, Sindoor, red cloth and the selected Shringar set. Read the set contents before adding another Chunari, Sindoor or red cloth.

Akhand Jyoti Samagri

Akhand Jyoti (अखंड ज्योति) remains lit throughout Navratri in homes following the practice. It needs more fuel and wicks than a regular Aarti diya.

Choose fuel and wick quantities according to your lamp size. Arrange extra fuel before Day 1 when continuous lighting forms part of your Puja.

Lamp

• Brass Jyot
• Diya

Fuel

• Ghee
• Til Tel Used at Home

Wicks

• Cotton Wicks (रुई की बत्ती)
• Extra Wicks

Base

• Metal Plate

Place the lamp on a metal plate. Keep it away from curtains, loose cloth and walking areas. Find lamp, fuel and wick planning on the Akhand Jyoti Samagri page. Read it before choosing larger fuel packs.

Navratri Havan Samagri

Add these materials only when your Navratri Puja includes Havan. Ask your Pandit Ji for the Havan day and expected Ahuti count.

A higher Ahuti (आहुति) count needs more Havan Samagri and Samidha. Reuse the Kund and utensils when they remain clean and safe.
