Ghatsthapana has been established from house to house on the first day of the great festival of Hindu Nepalese, Bada Dashain.
Crowds have been flocking to Chyamasingh in Bhaktapur to collect the soil required for planting. Volunteers have been mobilized every year due to the crowd taking soil from the river near Brahmayani temple in Chyamasingh of Bhaktapur.
According to the locals, soil of the place is good and sacred for cultivating Jamara. Since jamara is one of the favorite plants of mother Bhagwati, ghatsthaoana is celebrated to make jamara to please Bhagwati.
