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 Ranchi
Ranchi's households come from several traditions at once — Nagpuri, Bengali, Bhojpuri, Odia and Maithili — and a gathering usually holds more than one. Families here are used to saying which custom they keep when they book, because the assumption the pandit would otherwise make is a coin toss.
The city is compact and travel is rarely the problem. What is scarce is open space for a havan in the newer apartment blocks, so fire rites are commonly moved to a temple or to a relative's ground-floor house.
