House Warming Muhurat – Auspicious Dates for Griha Pravesh

Moving into a new home is not just a big step—it’s a spiritual milestone. In Indian culture, this moment is celebrated with a sacred ritual called Griha Pravesh (House Warming Ceremony). Choosing a Shubh Muhurat (auspicious time) for this event is believed to bring peace, prosperity, and positive energy into your home.

To make your start joyful and blessed, we’ve listed the most auspicious Griha Pravesh Muhurat dates. These are based on astrological calculations from Panchang Shuddhi, Vedic texts, and planetary positions.

Below is everything you need to know about House Warming Muhurat—what it is, why it matters, how dates are chosen, and how to prepare for this special day.

🪔 1. What is Griha Pravesh or House Warming Ceremony?

Griha Pravesh is a traditional Hindu ritual performed before moving into a newly built or renovated home. This puja helps purify the space, invites blessings, and keeps away negative energy.

There are three types of Griha Pravesh:

• Apoorva – Entering a newly built home for the first time
• Sapoorva – Returning home after being away for some time
• Dwandwah – Moving in after repairs, reconstruction, or natural damage

The ritual usually includes Vastu Puja, Ganesh Puja, Navagraha Shanti, and a Havan (fire ritual) to align your home with cosmic energy.

🔯 2. Why is Choosing a Shubh Muhurat Important?

According to Vedic astrology, starting anything at the right time brings better results. A good Shubh Muhurat for Griha Pravesh helps:

• Attract positive energy based on Nakshatra (star), Tithi (date), and planets
• Bring harmony, health, and wealth
• Avoid negative effects (doshas) from bad timings

Avoid doing Griha Pravesh when Shukra Tara (Venus) or Guru Tara (Jupiter) are Asta (not visible), as these periods are inauspicious, according to texts like Muhurta Chintamani and Dharmasindhu.
