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 Gaya
Gaya's ritual year is organised around the ancestral rites, and everything else is arranged in the spaces around them. Through Pitru Paksha the town's pandits are committed for the fortnight and a domestic booking is hard to place; the months either side are open.
The town is also where families arrive rather than live, so a rite here is often kept at a lodging or on the Falgu rather than at a home. Samagri is easy to buy close to Vishnupad and the ghats, which is where most of it is sold.
