Griha Pravesh (House Warming)
The traditional first entry into a new home. Includes Ganapati pooja, Punyahavachanam, Vastu Shanti, kalasha sthapana, milk boiling ceremony and Navagraha prayers to invite prosperity and peace into the household.
A family crosses this threshold once. This is how it is crossed with intention rather than in a hurry.
The sequence differs by region and by family tradition — yours will be confirmed before the day. We describe what families usually observe; we never promise outcomes.
