Moving into a new home is one of the most important milestones in a family’s life. It represents stability, new beginnings and the fulfilment of long-held aspirations. Along with excitement, it also brings an important question — when is the right time to enter the house?
For many families, choosing the correct Griha Pravesh Muhurat feels confusing due to multiple calendars, opinions and mixed advice available online.
This guide is written to bring clarity. It explains what Griha Pravesh Puja means, why muhurat is important, shares a complete month-wise Griha Pravesh Muhurat calendar for 2026 and helps families understand how to plan and perform the puja with the right pandit calmly, without pressure or unnecessary stress.
What Is Griha Pravesh Puja & Why Muhurat Matters
Griha Pravesh Puja is the traditional Hindu ritual performed before entering a new home for the first time. The ritual is meant to purify the space, remove negative influences and invite peace, prosperity and harmony into the household.
In Hindu belief, major life events are aligned with favourable planetary positions. The muhurat determined using tithi, nakshatra and planetary combinations, is selected to support long-term stability and well-being. While the home itself may be new, the ritual marks the spiritual beginning of life within it.
There are different forms of Griha Pravesh, depending on circumstances:
Apurva Griha Pravesh – entry into a newly constructed home
Sapurva Griha Pravesh – re-entry after temporary relocation
Dwandwah Griha Pravesh – entry after renovation or rebuilding due to damage
The type of Griha Pravesh influences muhurat selection and ritual structure.
