When is Anvadhana performed?

On the day preceding the new-moon or full-moon ishti.

Can Anvadhana be done in a flat?

Yes — most ceremonies we arrange are in apartments. Tell us if the space is small, or if there are smoke alarms; where a fire ritual is part of it, your Purohit plans for the room you have.

What if the muhurat falls in Rahu kalam?

When you choose a date, each time window shows its muhurat and whether it overlaps Rahu kalam. Families usually avoid it where the day allows; if it cannot be avoided, your Purohit will say what your tradition does.

Who takes part in Anvadhana?

A verified Purohit conducts it; the person or couple the ceremony is for sits for the sankalpa, and family may join. Nothing else is needed from you but the name said aloud at the start — and a gotra, if your family knows it.

How long does Anvadhana take?

About 1h, though this can vary with your family's tradition.

Can House of Purohit provide the Purohit?

Yes — a verified Purohit performs Anvadhana at your home, with pricing shown before you book.

Is Anvadhana available in Bengaluru?

Yes, in Bengaluru, from ₹4,800.
