These nine days are dedicated to the nine forms of Maa Durga, fasting and rituals. Navratri begins with Ghatasthapana or Kalash establishment, which is the most important legislation of this festival.

Let’s know what scriptures say about this.
Why is the earthen urn considered superior?
The earthen urn is considered to be the purest and perfect for the installation of Navratri in the scriptures and on the scriptures. There are many deep spiritual reasons behind this:
- Connection to nature: The soil is considered to be the form of the mother earth and is counted one of the most sacred elements. The use of earthen urn connects us with nature.
- Symbol of life: Just as the seed sown in the soil sprouts and communicates life, similarly we pray for the germination of happiness and prosperity in the house by calling the Goddess Maa in the earthen urn.
- accuracy: The soil is naturally pure and does not have any kind of negative energy.
Therefore, if possible, only new urn of soil should be used.
Can you use metal urns?
Many times the earthen urn is not available or there is a fear of its breakdown. In such a situation, the question arises that can you use a metal urn? Yes, according to the scriptures, you can also use a metal urn, but it is important to take care of some rules.
- Which metal is auspicious: Gold, silver, copper or brass urns are considered auspicious for Ghatasthapana. These metals are considered pure and pure and they reside in the Gods and Goddesses.
- Copper: Goddess’s vehicle is Leo and copper is considered to be a metal of Leo zodiac, so the copper urn is very auspicious. It attracts positive energy.
- Brass: Brass is also considered sacred and it is dear to the gods. Brass utensils bring positive energy to the house.
- gold Silver: These metals are considered a symbol of prosperity. If you are capable then you can also establish gold or silver urn.
