Griha Pravesh Puja Guide 2026: Dates, Muhurat, Rituals & Booking
Om Ganesaya Namah Avahayami
What is Griha Pravesh Puja?
Griha Pravesh Puja (Housewarming Ceremony) is a Vedic ritual performed before moving into a new home. Its primary purpose is to purify the environment, ward off negative energy (drishti), and seek the blessings of deities—primarily Lord Ganesha and Vastu Purusha—to ensure peace, health, and prosperity for the occupants.
At SmartPuja, we understand that a home is not just a structure but a living space. Whether you are entering a newly constructed home (Apoorva), a resale property (Sapoorva), or a rented house, this puja consecrates the space.

❌ Don’t:
- Leave the house empty: Do not lock the main door and leave immediately after the puja (wait at least 1 or 3 days if possible).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Can we perform Griha Pravesh after shifting furniture?
Yes, you can shift heavy furniture beforehand. However, the gas stove and drinking water should ideally be moved in only at the time of the Puja. Do not sleep in the house before the Puja.
2. Is it necessary to boil milk in a new vessel?
Yes, boiling milk in a new vessel (steel, copper, or brass) is a key ritual. It signifies the “fresh start” of cooking in the new kitchen.
3. Can singles or unmarried women perform the Puja?
Absolutely. Anyone—single, married, or widowed—can perform the Griha Pravesh. The most important element is the Sankalp (intention) and devotion.
4. What if I can’t find a Muhurat on my preferred date?
SmartPuja can help calculate a Gauri Muhurat or suggest specific remedial Pujas (Shanti Homa) that allow you to move in on alternative dates.
