What Is Griha Pravesh?
Griha Pravesh (गृह प्रवेश) is the sacred housewarming ceremony performed when a family enters a newly built or purchased home for the first time. In Nepali tradition, this ritual is as important as the construction itself — the Muhurta (auspicious time) selected for the entry determines the energy the home carries for generations.
