Griha Pravesh at a Glance

The ceremony seeks Ganesha's blessings, clears stale energy from construction or prior living, and marks a fresh beginning. You do not need every optional custom on day one, but you do need cleanliness, sincere prayer, and a respectful first entry.

  • Clean the house thoroughly a day before the puja.
  • Choose an auspicious muhurat with a pandit or trusted calendar.
  • Break a coconut at the entrance and enter with the deity.
  • Perform Ganesha and Vastu puja in the North-East corner.
  • Boil milk until it overflows as a sign of abundance.
  • Offer prasad, hang a mango-leaf toran, and keep the house lit for a few days.
