The day, hour by hour

  1. Vrat begins

    7:27 AM

    From sunrise on the first morning, for the days the house has chosen to keep it.

  2. Ghatasthapana

    The kalash is set in the first third of the day while Pratipada holds. The panchang advises keeping clear of Chitra nakshatra and Vaidhriti yoga where you can, but does not forbid them: when they hold all morning, this window still stands.

    Each morning after the bath: the day's form of the Devi and Her puja. No hour is fixed beyond the morning.

  4. Ghatasthapana · Abhijit

  5. The evening aarti

    7:16 PM – 9:42 PM

Times for Columbus, OH in EDT, UTC−4, rounded to the minute, computed by Kalava's engine for this town's own sunrise, sunset and moonrise. How

Nine nights of the Devi, one of Her forms given puja on each — from Shailaputri to Siddhidatri. The kalash is set on the first morning and the vrat is kept as the house chooses, and where a family has taken the sankalp, an akhand jyoti burns through all nine.

The vrat

Kept as the house chooses: all nine days, until the kanyas have eaten, one meal a day, three days, or the first and the last. Whoever keeps the nine days keeps brahmacharya, and does not cut hair or nails.
