Don’t forget these 5 important rules at the time of house warming
According to Vastu Shastra and religious beliefs, some special precautions should be taken while entering a new house so that there is always positivity in the house:
Decoration of main door: Decorate the main entrance of the house with a festoon of Ashoka or mango leaves and fresh flowers. Do not forget to draw Swastika and Rangoli at the entrance, it is a sign of welcome of Goddess Lakshmi.
Kalash installation and worship: Before entering, make sure to perform Vaastu Shanti, Navagraha Puja and Havan. Fill a Kalash with water or milk and take it home and offer it in a temple the next day.
Right step and conch sound: While crossing the threshold of the house, the husband and wife should first keep their right foot inside. Blowing the conch at the time of entry destroys the negative energy of the house.
First ritual of the kitchen: Immediately after entering the house, it is very auspicious to light the stove in the kitchen and boil milk. After this, prepare some sweet dish like kheer or halwa and offer it to God.
Night lamp and Brahmin feast: On the day of house warming, feed the Brahmins and give them Dakshina as per your capacity. Remember that do not leave the house empty on the first night of Griha Pravesh and definitely light a lamp at the main entrance.
Griha Pravesh performed on Akshaya Tritiya not only provides protection to your family, but it also brings never-ending blessings of wealth and prosperity to the house.
