A House warming Pooja, also known as the Griha Pravesh pooja ceremony, is a Hindu ceremony performed when one enters their new home for the first time. It is done to purify the atmosphere and ward off evil energies.
Significance of House Warming Pooja
A new house symbolizes new beginnings in a person’s life. In Hinduism, shubh muhurats are essential so conducting a grihapravesh on an auspicious day is believed to be a carrier of good luck and fortune for its inhabitants. Conducting the pooja on the auspicious moment not only expels negative forces from your home but also attracts positive energies. It invokes the blessings of the Nava grahas or the nine planets and eliminates obstacles and prevents mishaps from happening.
The priests usually determine the auspicious time or the muhurat based on astrological charts and planetary positions. Additionally, there are proper vidhis and steps that one must follow during a housewarming ceremony. Thus, consulting an astrologer or a Vastu expert is important.
