About Griha Pravesh
Griha pravesh is the rite of entering a house for the first time, and the tradition treats the house as something to be settled rather than simply occupied. The sequence is a Ganesh puja, a Vastu puja addressed to the site itself, a havan, and the boiling of milk in the kitchen until it rises and spills over.
It is kept before the family moves in and before furniture arrives, on a muhurat chosen for the purpose — a date, not a time of convenience. A newly built house takes a Vastu Shanti first; a rented or resold one does not. The whole thing runs two to three hours, and the household is expected to stay in the house the night it is done.
Keeping a rite in Bhagalpur
Bhagalpur is a river town and its rites use the river. Tarpan, asthi visarjan and the shraddh rites are kept on the ghats below Budhanath rather than at home, and the monsoon changes which steps are usable rather than whether the rite happens.
The town's own tradition is Anga's, and the calendar it keeps around Shravan and Mahashivratri is the Shaiva one. Silk-weaving households in Champanagar and Nathnagar hold their own occasions, which is worth mentioning when a date is being fixed.
