Griha pravesh
Griha pravesh is the house-entry rite. Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma does it at the house, before the family begins to live there. It covers the door, Ganesh, the kalash, and a havan.

The rite
Griha pravesh is the house-entry rite before the family sleeps the first night in a new flat or rented home, with Ganesh, Gauri, kalash at the door, boiling milk, and often a short havan. Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma keeps the vidhi practical for Bengaluru towers—elevator timing, shoe removal at door, and vastu reminders without selling fear.
Time at the house: About 2 to 3 hours with havan
Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma performs this as a home visit in Bengaluru. Share your area and preferred slot on WhatsApp; the samagri list is sent before the day. This page does not list fees or promise worldly results.
Why families book it
Families book so the first entry is done before movers stack boxes in the puja corner.
Renters who may leave in a few years still want the same door worship owners perform.
When families ask
- Before first night in a new flat or independent house
- After renovation when elders treat it as a fresh entry
- When vastu consultant asks for ceremonial entry before furniture
- Before griha pravesh guests arrive for housewarming lunch
- If milk-boil overflow is wanted on the stove for auspicious sign
- Combined short navagraha touch when pandit time allows
Before the day
Leave northeast corner empty for kalash. Keep milk pot ready for boil-over on stove, with towel for spills. Share parking pass for pandit at society gate. Movers should pause heavy lifting during havan if possible.
