During festivals like Navaratri, we place a Purna Kumbham (sacred pot). After placing it, if the coconut or the mango leaves rot or spoil during the festival, can we change them? Or should we keep the same Kumbham that was placed on the first day until the end?

Placing a Purna Kumbham during Navaratri depends on each individual’s family tradition (agathu vazhakkam). Similarly, if it is your family’s custom, you can change it during the festival time. If not, you should keep the same coconut until the end of the festival. Therefore, please check and follow according to your specific family tradition.
