Here are some Vastu tips for a Griha Pravesh (housewarming) ceremony:
- Choose an auspicious date and time for the ceremony, as per the Hindu calendar and astrological chart.
- Clean and purify the house before the ceremony, and remove any negative energy.
- Perform a pooja (prayer ceremony) at the main entrance of the house, to invite positive energy and blessings.
- Place a Kalash (sacred water pot) filled with water, rice, and coins at the main entrance, and light a diya (lamp) beside it.
- Hang a toran (decorative arch) made of mango leaves or flowers at the main entrance, to welcome positivity and prosperity.
- Offer sweets and fruits to the gods and goddesses, and invite friends and family to participate in the ceremony.
- Finally, the head of the family should enter the house first and touch the threshold with his or her right foot to mark the beginning of a new journey.
