Navratri 2022: Devotees throng Varanasi's Durga Kund temple | ABP News

Chaitra Navratri has begun from today. This is why devotees are thronging temples. We take you to Varanasi's Durga Kund temple where devotees are queued up to offer prayers. 

At Panchkula's Mansa Devi temple too, people have lined up to offer prayers.

The first day of Chaitra Navratri is highly significant as it not only kicks starts the nine-day celebrations and the festive vibe but the ‘Kalash Sthapana’ is also done on this day. Kalash Sthapna is the day when a separate place is cleaned and setup is made where the idol of Goddess Durga would be kept for the next nine days. 

While all days of the Navratri are celebrated by worshipping the forms of Goddess Durga, this first day is kept for preparations of prayers.
