Ghatasthapna
(From The Himalayan Times)
People have already started making the rounds of the markets to buy clothes, food-stuff and puja materials in preparation for the upcoming festival. Houses have already been cleaned, decorated and painted for Dashain. Dashain commences with Ghatasthapna…On this day, a priest or the head of the house places a kalasha – a sacred jar of holy water – in the prayer room where daily religious ceremonies are performed or in a purified area of the house pleading to Goddess Durga to bless the vessel with her presence.
