Before stepping into your new home, it’s customary to perform a ritual called “Griha Pravesh Muhurat.” Selecting the best day for the ceremony ensures a smooth transition. The Hindu calendar, or Panchang, highlights several auspicious days for moving into a new home. Aligning the Griha Pravesh Puja with Vastu Shastra principles on a favorable day, known as Shubh Muhurat, is believed to bring good fortune to the occupants. Nakshatra, a crucial component of Hindu Astrology, also plays a significant role. Starting any endeavor during a favorable Nakshatra and Muhurat is thought to attract prosperity.
Experts in Vastu Shastra and Astrology consider various factors such as day, dates, Nakshatra, planetary positions, auspicious Yoga, Lagna, Adhik mas (an additional month in the calendar), and other astrological phenomena like Rahu Kaal and Bhadra while determining Griha Pravesh Muhurat Dates. It’s believed that choosing a Muhurat after considering these factors ensures the best outcomes for those moving into new homes.
The aim is to bring tranquility, happiness, and prosperity into the home by entering on an auspicious Tithi and Lagna. Griha Pravesh Muhurats are calculated based on days, dates, Nakshatra, and Lagna.
For 2024, Griha Pravesh Muhurat Dates are chosen according to location and the Hindu Lunar Calendar. Typically, they coincide with Hindu festivals, auspicious days, or Nakshatras suggested by astrologers.
