The first solar eclipse of the year 2025 will occur on March 29, with the second eclipse just 15 days later. This solar eclipse, lasting from 2:21 pm to 6:16 pm, will be followed by the start of Chaitra Navratri and Hindu New Year celebrations on March 30. However, the solar eclipse’s impact on rituals like Kalash Sthapana has left many devotees wondering how to proceed.
Solar Eclipse and Sutak Period
The solar eclipse on March 29, 2025, will not be visible in India, so its Sutak period, which begins 12 hours before the eclipse (around 2:30 am), will not be valid for India. The Sutak period typically prevents performing any auspicious rituals, such as Ghatasthapana. But since this eclipse is not visible in India, devotees need not worry about the Sutak period affecting their rituals.
Kalash Sthapana Timing for Chaitra Navratri 2025
The Ghatasthapana for Chaitra Navratri can be performed on March 30, 2025, between 06:13 am and 10:22 am. Additionally, for those wishing to perform the ritual during the auspicious Abhijeet Muhurta, the ideal time will be from 12:01 pm to 12:50 pm. The Abhijeet Muhurta is considered very auspicious for the Kalash Sthapana, ensuring that the start of Navratri aligns with the most favorable timing.
