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 Nalanda
Nalanda district is small towns and villages around Bihar Sharif, and the custom kept is Magadh's — explained in Magahi more often than in Hindi, and following the practice of a particular tract rather than of the district. Households describe their rites as their village's, and they are right to.
There is space here that a city does not have, so havans and open-air rites are straightforward. Samagri for anything beyond the common list is bought in Bihar Sharif or brought from Patna, which is an hour and a half away.
