Griha Pravesh is a once-in-a-lifetime ceremony for most families. Choosing the right muhurat is not a superstition — it is an acknowledgment that the time of an action shapes its long-term energy. The date and time of your Griha Pravesh will anchor the home’s spiritual foundation for decades.

What If Your Possession Date Falls on an Inauspicious Day?
Option 1: Symbolic first entry. Enter briefly on the auspicious muhurat (even just to light a lamp and offer a prayer). This symbolic entry consecrates the auspicious date.
Option 2: Alternate ceremony. Consult a pandit for specific remedies (such as a Vastu Shanti puja) that can neutralise an unavoidable date.
