• Dwandwah — re-entry after renovation or a calamity.

2. Vastu Puja and Navgraha Shanti
3. Havan for purification
4. Boiling milk in the kitchen as a symbol of abundance
5. Aarti and prasad distribution

How long does it take?

A typical Griha Pravesh takes 2 to 3 hours. Book a Pandit Ji at least a week in advance during peak muhurat seasons.
