Housewarming Puja in Fort Myers, Florida

Entering a new home with Ganesh puja, Vastu puja, havan and the boiling of milk.

What it is

Griha Pravesh is the ritual first entry into a new home. It purifies the space, honours Vastu Purush, the spirit of the dwelling, and invites prosperity and peace for everyone who will live there.

When families do it

On a muhurat from the panchang. Many families avoid Pitru Paksha, Kharmas and Adhik Maas for a housewarming.

What happens

1. Entry with a filled kalash and the right foot first
2. Ganesh puja, Navagraha puja and Vastu puja
3. Havan to purify the home
4. Boiling milk until it overflows, a sign of abundance
5. Aarti in every room and the first meal in the home

Living in a condo or a home with sensitive smoke alarms? We can use a small havan kund near an open door or on the lanai, or do the puja without fire. The puja is still complete.
