Griha Pravesh Muhurat

Every person dream of having their own home. In Hindu tradition, when a family enters their newly built or renovated house for the first time, it is not just a change of place—it is performed as a sacred ritual known as Griha Pravesh Muhurat.
Entering during a Shubh Griha Pravesh Muhurat removes Vastu doshas, brings stability to the house, and grants divine blessings. In this guide, we will give you precise information about Griha Pravesh Vidhi, astrological rules for the building, and how to select the Best Griha Pravesh Muhurat.

The basic meaning of Griha Pravesh is "entering one's dwelling."

Griha Pravesh Muhurat is the sacred time determined on the basis of the Panchang, planetary positions, and the blessings of Vastu Purusha.

• Balancing the energy of the house: When we perform Griha Pravesh during an auspicious muhurat, the cosmic energy at that time is highly positive for the Building Area. This energy spreads happiness and protection within the house.
• Worship of Vastu Purusha: The main purpose of Griha Pravesh Puja is to awaken Vastu Purusha (the deity governing the structure) and seek his permission for stable residence, ensuring well-being in every corner.
• Removal of negativity: Through special puja and havan, any negative energy gathered during construction or vacancy is removed.

The Hindu Home Entry Muhurat is the key to the family's peace, prosperity, and long-term stability.

The importance of Griha Pravesh Muhurat goes beyond simply entering a home—it transforms it into a "sacred space."

• Stability and safety: Entering at the right time protects the home from natural or human-caused disturbances and ensures the stability of the property.
• Continuity of wealth: If the entry is made during a stable muhurat, Goddess Lakshmi resides permanently in the home, resulting in economic growth.
• Family harmony: A Shubh Griha Pravesh Muhurat enhances love and cooperation among family members, ensuring emotional peace in the new home.
• Completion of Vastu purification: This puja infuses divine energy into every part of the house and neutralizes all Vastu defects.
