Ghatasthapana is also known as Kalashasthapana.

How to do Ghatasthapana Festival:
During Ghatasthapna, people fill "holy water" in a Kalash. The kalash is then coated with cow dung and barley seeds are sown in it. It is then placed in a sand pit which is also sown with barley seeds. This Kalash is blessed by pujari who asks Devi Durga to reside in the pot for the entire festival.

The pot is worshiped by a family member twice a day, every day till the festival is over. The Kalash is kept away from incense and holy water is poured into it daily. This activity results in a tall, yellow grass growing from the pot called a "jamara".

On the first day of Navratri, worship of Maa Durga is started with the establishment of Kalash. Many rituals performed during Ghatasthapana are kept secret. This ritual is performed all over India on the first day of Navratri.
