Opening part of filled water (Kalash) signifies the water reservoirs like ponds, rivers and wells where living beings consumes water for sustaining their life. A smallest part of mango tree with leaves are kept on filled water pot. This signifies for existence of longest tree on earth which are green and develop in the direction of sunlight, which is well known in botany as phototropism.Then a green coconut or inverted peeled coconut is placed on filled water pot which is the symbolic form of mountain on earth.
In Hindu ritual, placing and worshiping of filled water pot is called as "KALASH STHAPAN".
In Hindu ritual, placing and worshiping of filled water pot is called as "KALASH STHAPAN".
During placing of Kalash area by keeping some crop of rice, paddy aur maize, first mantra is chanted as "Bhu rasi, Bhumi rasi........." to worship supportness of mother earth (Adhara Shakti). During filling if water, seven holy rivers are called into kalasha with God Varuna (God of water).
Kalash is worshipped to enhance the "Dhara Shakti" means supportive power. Without supportive power, nothing can be happen. Without strengthening the base of a building, you can't built upper part of building. Hence, to get success in worship or anything, support power is to be worshipped first. This way mother earth is symbolically worshipped.
Thanks you
