Griha Pravesh Pooja marks the official entry into a new home and is performed in the presence of gods and goddesses, with pooja and Havan, which are essential to Hindu customs. Family members gather to celebrate the deities' presence, seeking blessings and protection from any adverse effects of the new house. The ceremony involves various steps that differ across cultures and traditions.

This pooja offers religious, spiritual, and emotional benefits. One story states that Rishi Vishveshwar performed the Griha Pravesh Pooja of Lanka, while another says that Maharishi Grag Rishi performed it for Arjuna's palace in Indraprastha, now Delhi.

Just as our body needs a soul, a house is lifeless without Griha Pravesh Pooja. A trained pandit chants mantras to infuse prana, or life-force, into the home, making it energetically alive.

Significance Of Griha Pravesh Pooja

This Pooja provides spiritual and emotional upliftment, believing that new beginnings with gods reduce negative influences and make spaces suitable for living. Astrology suggests that relocating can impact planetary and Vastu effects on families, so Nav Graha and Vastu Pooja are also performed.

1. Vitality in the atmosphere: A home needs Griha Pravesh pooja, just as a body needs a soul, to infuse life into the structure. Proper chanting of Vedic mantras imbues the dwelling with a soul.

2. Purification pooja removes negative influences, filling the new home with positive energy and purifying family members' minds for positive thinking.

3. Bundle of Blessings: Chanting Vedic mantras correctly brings blessings from heavenly bodies to family members.

4. This pooja with properly chanted Vedic mantras promotes calmness, fostering good health and well-being among family.

5. Wealth and Prosperity: Proper chanting of Vedic mantras during pooja removes negative influences, paving the way for wealth and prosperity.

Types of Griha Pravesh Pooja – Apoorva, Sapoorva, Dwandwa

There are three types of Griha Pravesh: Apoorva, Sapoorva, and Dwandwa. Most choose Apoorva or Dwandwa; a few pick Sapoorva. Rituals are similar across types, but muhuratam is crucial.

Apoorva: It is mainly done when a new house is constructed. It can also be understood from the name itself.

Sapoorva: It is done when family members are not staying in the house for a long time.

Dwandwa: When family members move into a rented house, apartment, or flat, this type of Griha Pravesh is conducted.
