Decorating Sacred Water Ghats

Whether setting up a spot by a natural riverbank or constructing an artificial water tank on a home terrace, suitable decor enriches the spiritual experience.

Ghat Decor Checklist

  • Sugarcane Mandap Setup: Binding sugarcane tops into a pyramid shape positioned right at the water's edge.
  • Pathway Lighting: Illuminating dirt paths with fairy lights, paper lanterns, or lines of clay diyas to safely guide barefoot Vratis.
  • Floral Carpets: Sprinkling rose and marigold petals at the water's edge where the Vrati stands during the Arghya.
