Last updated on December 7th, 2022 at 10:42 am

Shifting to a new house is the most important decision which a person or family takes in life. And, we don’t want any bad luck or misfortune to affect this moment of happiness.

We just want to ensure that only joy and prosperity resides in the new home where every member of the family remains healthy and happy.

For this, people select an auspicious day to shift into their new homes and perform a Griha Pravesh ceremony with proper rituals to ensure only positivity and success stays in it and negativity or evil forces are kept at bay. As per the Hindu traditions, performing this ceremony on an auspicious day based on the Hindu lunar calendar or Panchang will bring health, wealth, and happiness in the new home.

Kinds of Griha Pravesh

There are three kinds of Griha Pravesh Puja that are performed in the Indian households based on the category of home they are shifting into.

1. Apurva Griha Pravesh for a “new home”

This kind of a Griha Pravesh puja is performed when a person or a family shifts into a new home for the first time. This house can be a newly constructed one or an old one.

2. Sapurva Griha Pravesh for re-entry in old home

Sapurva Griha Pravesh is performed when a person or a family comes back to their home lying vacant for a long period. This Puja also takes place when people shift into a home in which people were residing before.

3. Dwandwa Griha Pravesh for reconstructed/renovated homes

When people shift to a house after its reconstruction or renovation, then Dwandwa Griha Pravesh is performed. Reconstruction work in homes after damages in natural calamities also comes under this category.

How is Griha Pravesh Puja performed?

Griha Pravesh Puja is a religious ceremony in which worship of the deity is performed before shifting to a new home. This ceremony is conducted to ward off any negative energies and bringing happiness and prosperity in the new place. Griha Pravesh comprises of two main rituals- Vastu Pooja and Hawan Shanti to bless the new home with peace and opulence.

Here are the following steps to perform Griha Pravesh ceremony successfully-

So, deciding a Griha Pravesh date in anyof these dates will benefit the entire family.
• Decorations: Mango leaves and fresh marigold flowers are considered auspicious in the Hindu customs and rituals.Decorating all the doors of the house with garlands of the fresh flowers and mango leaves will bring positivity in the new home.

But, here are few things which must be kept in mind before performing housewarming ceremony during the occasion of Chaitra Navratri.

1. Pacification of nine planets for Griha Shanti Puja during Navratri
