A ‘Griha Pravesh’ or a house warming ceremony is a one-time ritual that is performed, when one enters a new home for the first time, for living in it. Experts recommend that the entire Griha Pravesh ceremony should be performed smoothly, as this ceremony marks the beginning of one’s residence in the property. Hence, it is especially important to ensure that there is no mistake, while deciding the Griha Pravesh date and the timing for entering the home and timing of the puja.

Narendra Jain, expert at Arihant Vastu, explains that the “Griha Pravesh dates are calculated, according to the Panchang. By consulting an expert, you can get the ‘shubh’ (auspicious) dates that also comply with the Vastu of your new home. The most suitable dates for Griha Pravesh in 2019 are:

Some of the dates have a very short time span, during which you can perform the Griha Pravesh. Therefore, consult an expert to know the exact time, before you finalise the date,” Jain advises.

2. Griha Pravesh puja
Try to complete all the finishing work in your new home, well before the Griha Pravesh day. Consult an expert, while choosing the colour and interiors for your home, to avoid conflict with Vastu Shastra.
Decorate your home with flowers and bright lights, as it is believed that this will bring positive energy to your home.
It is important to prepare well, before you perform the Griha Pravesh. Book the ‘pandit/pujari’ in advance, to avoid last-minute unavailability. Arrange the list of items that would be required during the puja and get it checked by the pujari. Start the puja at the exact time which is auspicious. Invite only close relatives and friends for the puja to avoid chaos at home. You may organise a party for a bigger gathering, later.
3. Other important points to consider, for a Griha Pravesh ceremony
“If you are looking to perform a house warming ceremony within a year’s time, then, you must lock your dates well in advance. In a new project, several unit holders may get the possession of their properties at the same time. Therefore, many people may schedule their respective Griha Pravesh ceremonies during the same period and you may face difficulty in booking the party hall in the society or a nearby location. We too faced this problem and finally got space in our own society but we had to delay the Griha Pravesh by six months,” says Abhishek Sharma, who lives in Karol Bagh, Delhi and works as a senior executive in a multi-national corporation.
Before finalising the Griha Pravesh date, check your children’s school/exam schedule, to avoid conflict. Try to choose a time, when you and your children have a holiday from work and school, respectively. If you are choosing Griha Pravesh date that falls close to any of the big festivals, then, first check the availability of the pujari and party space and also check whether your close relatives/friends would be able to attend.
