About Vastu Shanti
Vastu Shanti is addressed to the site and the structure rather than to the family, and it is kept on a newly built house before anyone lives in it. The Vastu Purusha — the figure the tradition holds to be lying within the plot — is worshipped, and a havan is made for the directions and the nine planets.
It is a separate rite from griha pravesh and comes before it, usually on the same day or the day before. A house that is bought or rented rather than built does not take one; a renovation that moves walls or a kitchen often does. Two to three hours, and it needs the house empty.
Keeping a rite in Ara
Ara is Bhojpur, and its rites run in Bhojpuri — including the singing, which is the women's part and sets the pace a pandit works to. A rite here has more people in the room and less silence in it than the same rite kept in Mithila.
The town is walkable and most addresses are reached on foot from the main road. Aranya Devi is where the town's temple-mode rites are kept, and Navratri closes the lanes around it for a week.
