Chaitra Navratri 2026 Vastu Tips: Chaitra Navratri is going to start from 19th March 2026 this year. In this festival of Shakti worship which lasts for nine days, devotees install Mata Rani’s post in their homes. But do you know that if there is a mistake in the direction or rules while setting up the post, then the full results of the puja are not achieved. Some special rules for setting up the post of Maa Durga have been mentioned in the scriptures and Vastu science. Let us know what are those mistakes which you should avoid.
Choosing the right direction is most important
The most important thing while installing Maa Chowki during Navratri is to keep in mind the direction. According to the scriptures and Vastu Shastra, Mata’s post should always be established in the Ishaan corner (north-east direction). This direction is considered the place of Gods and worshiping here increases the flow of positive energy. Placing the post in the wrong direction can reduce the effect of puja.
Keeping three idols together was considered inauspicious!
Often people keep more idols or pictures in devotion, but according to the scriptures it is not appropriate to do so. Keeping three idols or pictures of Maa Durga together is considered inauspicious. You should install only a maximum of two idols or pictures, worship with this is considered as per the scriptures.
Don’t use black colored things?
Black color should be especially avoided during worship during Navratri. Wearing black clothes while worshiping or spreading black cloth at the place of worship is considered inauspicious. Instead use red, yellow or other auspicious colors, which increase positive energy. Because black color is not considered auspicious for worship purposes.
Correct place to install Kalash
Establishment of Kalash has special significance during Navratri. Keep in mind that the Kalash should always be installed on the right side of the idol or picture of Maa Durga. Keeping it at the wrong place can affect the completeness of the puja. During this time, by worshiping as per the rituals and following the rules, one gets the special blessings of Mother Durga.
