Overview
Griha Pravesh Puja for families in Sundarpur
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.
Sundarpur is a residential area in south Varanasi, close to Lanka and Banaras Hindu University. It has grown steadily, with apartment buildings, family houses and rented accommodation filling its lanes and colonies.
