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 Darbhanga
Darbhanga keeps Mithila's own ritual tradition, which is a distinct school rather than a local accent: its own manuals, its own commentators, and its own order of days at a wedding. A family from outside the region will find the sequence unfamiliar, and a local pandit will assume the Maithila one unless told otherwise.
Marriages here are still arranged against the Panji genealogical registers, which adds a step before the muhurat is fixed rather than after. Most rites are kept at home; the temple visit that follows is usually to Shyama Mai.
