When is Chaitra Navratri 2026 in Pāthardi?
Chaitra Navratri Ghatasthapana muhurat: what time?
Why is Chaitra Navratri on Thu 19 Mar in Pāthardi?
Chaitra Navratri · Ghatasthapana is on Thu 19 Mar: Pratipada touches pratahkala that morning, and no other.
Amavasya until 06:53, inside pratahkala; then Pratipada. Pratipada: 06:53 to 04:52 Fri.
Pratipada ended at 04:52; pratahkala is Dwitiya. Pratipada: 06:53 Thu to 04:52.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Pratahkala. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Ghatasthapana is done in pratahkala, the first fifth of the day. Pratipada runs from 06:53 on Thu 19 Mar to 04:52 on Fri 20 Mar, so it touches only Thursday’s pratahkala (06:34–08:59). No text giving Chaitra Navratri · Ghatasthapana’s time was found; pratahkala is Tithika’s convention.
