Navratri is considered very important in the Hindu religion and during this time 9 forms of Mata Rani are worshipped. A fast of 9 days is also observed during Navratri. This year Chaitra Navratri will start on 9th April and will end with Navami on 17th April. But before installing the Kalash during Navratri, you must do such things so that Mata Rani can reside. Therefore, do this work before Navratri starts.
Cleanliness of the house:
According to religious beliefs, special care should be taken about cleanliness during Chaitra Navratri. Clean the house thoroughly before Navratri starts. Keep in mind that Mata Rani resides in clean places only. Apart from this, keeping dirt in the house increases poverty.

because Goddess Annapurna resides here. Therefore, before the start of Chaitra Navratri, tamasic things like garlic and onion should be removed from the kitchen.
Make a Swastika on the main entrance of the house.
Before any auspicious work, Swastika is definitely made in the house or temple. Therefore, before starting the puja on the first day of Chaitra Navratri, Swastika should be made at the main entrance of your house.
