Overview

Griha Pravesh Puja for families in Shaikpet

Griha Pravesh is the ceremony a family performs when moving into a new home for the first time. It usually begins with Ganesh puja and Kalash sthapana, continues with worship of Vastu Purusha and the Navagraha, and closes with a havan. A defining moment is the entry itself: the lady of the house traditionally steps in with her right foot first, often carrying a filled kalash, and in many families milk is boiled until it overflows as a sign of abundance in the new kitchen.

Shaikpet lies between Tolichowki, Film Nagar and Gachibowli in west Hyderabad. It is one of the older settlements of the area, with a Qutb Shahi era sarai among its landmarks, and has grown rapidly with apartment blocks along the main road.
