Entering a new home (Griha Pravesh) is a major life milestone. The Vastu Shanti and Griha Pravesh rituals are meticulously designed to cleanse the physical space of any negative energies, satisfy the Vastu Purusha (the deity of the building), and invite divine blessings for a peaceful, healthy life.

Dwaar Pujan (Threshold Worship)
Before entering, decorate the main door with a Toran (mango leaves and marigold). The priest or head of the family performs a puja at the threshold (Dehli). Break an ash gourd, coconut, or crush a lemon at the entrance to ward off evil eyes (Buri Nazar).
Kalash Pravesh (The Entry)
The lady of the house should enter the home first. She must step in with her right foot, carrying the prepared Kalash (filled with water, coins, and topped with mango leaves and a coconut). This symbolizes bringing Lakshmi (wealth) into the home.
Boiling the Milk
Proceed immediately to the kitchen. Light the stove and boil cow's milk in a brand new vessel. Allow the milk to intentionally overflow over the edges. This beautiful tradition symbolizes an overflow of wealth, abundance, and joy in the new home. Add rice and jaggery to this milk to make sweet Kheer.
Navagraha & Vastu Pujan
Sit in the living area or northeast corner (Ishan Kone). Worship Lord Ganesha, the Navagrahas (to balance planetary energies), and the Vastu Purusha (to neutralize any architectural flaws or Vastu Doshas).
Vastu Shanti Hawan
Perform a Hawan (fire ritual). The smoke from the mango wood, ghee, and Hawan Samagri acts as a powerful purifying agent, cleansing the air and the spiritual atmosphere of the house. Offer Ahutis (oblations) while chanting mantras.
Brahmin Bhojan & Prasad
Conclude the ceremony with an Aarti. The first portion of the food (especially the sweet Kheer) should be offered to the deity, then to a cow (if possible), then to the priest (Brahmin Bhojan) with Dakshina, and finally shared with family and guests.
