Rules On Determining Muhurat Of Chaitra Navratri
Before learning it, it is vital to know the auspicious day for the Ghatasthapana Muhurta. So, here's how to figure out the Muhurat for Chaitra Navratri's first day:
If any Muhurta falls in Pratipada after sunrise, Navratri shall begin in the morning, and Kalash sthapana or Ghatasthapana will be performed.
If there is no other day and the Pratipada is less than one Muhurta after sunrise, the Amayukta Pratipada would be regarded as the first day.
Starting Chaitra Navratri in Amayukta Pratipada is prohibited in any other situation.
If Pratipada falls between the sunrises of two days, the first day is valid; the festival cannot begin on the second day.
If Goddess Chandika is to be worshiped on the first day, Amayukta Pratipada should be avoided. The Pratipada that falls on the second day will be valid in this case.
Best Time For Chaitra Navratri Kalash Sthapana
The first one-third of the day is ideal for Ghatasthapana.
In any other case, Abhijeet Muhurta is regarded as the best.
During the Chitra Nakshatra and Vaidhriti Yoga periods, Ghatasthapana should be avoided, but it is not forbidden.
Ghatasthapana should never be performed before the middle of the Pratipada Tithi, according to Hindu calendar dates.
When the two-natured Ascendant is Pisces, doing Ghatasthapana at Chaitra Navratri on the morning of Pratipada is considered auspicious.
Pushya, Uttaraphalguni, Uttarashada, Uttarabhadrapada, Hasta, Revati, Rohini, Ashwini, Mool, Shravan, Dhanishta, and Punarvasu are the auspicious constellations for Ghatasthapana.
Note: Ghatasthapana is forbidden after 16 Ghati from sunrise. In other words, according to Hindu time, you should perform Ghatasthapana before the middle of Pratipada's day.

Mantra of Pooja Sankalp For Chaitra Navratri 2022
Devotees who have been fasting for nine days should finish the pooja with the mantra:
Note: Purely chant the mantra. This mantra has numerous instances of such a term. For example, in Amuknamsamvatsare, you will say Samvatsara rather than Amuk. If the Samvatsar's name is Saumya, the name is pronounced Soumyanamasamvatsare. Pronounce the name of the day in Amukavasare, your gotra's name in Amukagotrah, and your name in Amuknamah.
If fasting is observed on the first, second, or third day, replace 'Etasu Navatithishu' with a resolution and the name of the date on which the fast is observed. For instance, if the resolution is to be made on the seventh day, the mantra would be:
Similarly, instead of Saptyamyan, Ashtamyan would be used for Ashtami Tithi.
Due to Chaitra Navratri's vast religious and spiritual significance, this festival is extremely significant for everyone. This occasion represents a fresh start and a new beginning that will brighten up one's life.
