About Grihapravesha Puja
Grihapravesha is one of the most significant samskaras (rites of passage) in Hindu tradition. When a family moves into a new home, this puja consecrates the space, dispels negative energies, and invites Goddess Lakshmi, Lord Ganesha, and the Vastu Purusha to reside within. In Bangalore, where both South and North Indian families celebrate this, GoPuja ensures the ritual is performed authentically according to your tradition.
When to Perform
Grihapravesha is performed on a muhurtam (auspicious time) selected by the family astrologer. Typically it is done when entering a newly constructed or newly purchased home for the first time. Uttarayana (January–June) is generally preferred. Consult our pandit for muhurta selection specific to your nakshatra and rashi.
