Griha Pravesh Puja — Step by Step

An outline of how the ceremony is conducted. Your pandit may adapt the order to your family tradition and regional practice.

  1. Arrival, setup & sankalp

    The pandit arrives about 30 minutes early, sets up the chowki facing east and takes the sankalp in the name and gotra of the yajman family, stating the purpose of the Griha Pravesh Puja.

  2. Muhurat consultation

    Before the day, the pandit studies the panchang and your family details to fix an auspicious date and time, and confirms the names, gotra and purpose for the sankalp.

  3. Ganesh puja & kalash sthapana

    Lord Ganesha is invoked first so that the ceremony proceeds without obstacles, with offerings of durva, flowers, akshat and sweets.

  4. Vastu Shanti & Navgraha puja

    Performed with the prescribed mantras and upacharas, with the pandit guiding the family through each action.

  5. Havan with ahutis

    Agni is consecrated in the havan kund and the family offers ghee and samagri with every mantra ending in “swaha”, concluding with the purnahuti.

  6. Doorway puja & milk boiling ritual

    Performed with the prescribed mantras and upacharas, with the pandit guiding the family through each action.

  7. Kshama prarthana & ashirvad

    The ceremony closes with a prayer seeking forgiveness for any unintentional error, followed by blessings for the family and guidance on what to do after the puja.
