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 Prayagraj
Prayagraj's rites are the Sangam's. Tarpan, asthi visarjan, shraddh and the mundan kept at the confluence are what the city's pandits do most, and the sands where they are done exist for part of the year and are under water for the rest.
Magh is the busy month — the annual mela, and the Kumbh and Ardh Kumbh at their own intervals — when the whole city is arranged around the mela ground. Domestic rites in the civil lines and the older town go on regardless, and are unaffected by any of it.
