A Short Note on Griha Pravesh
Griha means house or home and pravesh means to enter.
Grihapravesh is the celebration of entering into a new house for living. The house
may not be newly built but will be the place where the family starts a new
life, the life they pray to be happy and blessed.
The house also becomes the house of the Gods that the owner
of the house believes in. The personal deity from the Hindu pantheon the family
believes stays is the important member of the house and it is through the
blessing of the deity that the family progresses.
Decoration of the main entrance of the new home may be done
by drawing footprints of Goddess Lakshmi or made by a girl child after dipping
her feet in kumkum water. Hanging garland on the top of the door with mango
leaves and putting some fresh fruit bearing tree branches on two sides of the
door is another important aspect of Griha Pravesh. Kalash is another important
aspect.
All items displayed or kept in the front door of the house
during Griha Pravesh symbolize glory and blessing of Hindu gods and goddesses,
peace, prosperity, fertility and happiness.
The blessing of ancestors are also taken before entering
into a new home.
