Be Fully Prepared for Your Special Day
Moving into a new home is a momentous occasion filled with hopes, dreams, and excitement.
To ensure that positivity and divine blessings fill your new space, Griha Pravesh Puja and Havan must be performed with complete devotion and preparation.
Having all the required items (samagri) ready in advance ensures that the rituals proceed smoothly and without any interruptions.
Here’s the essential checklist you must have ready for your Griha Pravesh Puja and Havan!
1. Puja Essentials
These are the fundamental items needed for the puja:
✅ Kalash (Sacred Pot) – Preferably silver, copper, or brass
✅ Coconut – Fresh and unbroken
✅ Mango Leaves – 5 or more fresh leaves
✅ Red Cloth and Yellow Cloth – To cover sacred items
✅ Rice (Akshat) – Washed and dried rice grains
✅ Kumkum (Red Vermilion Powder)
✅ Haldi (Turmeric Powder)
✅ Sandalwood Paste

✅ Betel Leaves and Betel Nuts
✅ Incense Sticks (Agarbatti) and Dhoop
✅ Camphor (Kapoor)
✅ Oil Lamps (Diya) – Preferably ghee diya
2. Havan Samagri (Sacred Fire Ingredients)
Havan purifies the house by invoking fire as a divine witness. Here’s what you need:
🔥 Havan Kund – Small or medium-sized fire pit

🔥 Havan Samagri Mixture – Special herbal mix available in religious stores

🔥 Cotton Wicks
🔥 Panchamrit Ingredients – Milk, curd, honey, ghee, and sugar
🔥 Water in a Copper Vessel – With a spoon for offerings
3. Special Items for Griha Pravesh
Certain symbolic activities are part of the ceremony:
🏠 Boiling Milk – Milk must be boiled in the new kitchen till it overflows (symbolizes prosperity)
🏠 Torans (Door Hangings) – Made of mango leaves and marigold flowers, to be tied at the entrance
🏠 Kolam or Rangoli Colors – To decorate the entrance and puja room
🏠 Coins – To be placed inside the kalash
🏠 Holy Water (Ganga Jal) – For purification
🏠 A New Broom and Mop – Ideally, cleaning should be done with new cleaning tools before puja
4. Personal Preparation
🔹 Wear clean, preferably traditional attire (kurta-pajama for men, saree or salwar for women).
🔹 All family members should take a bath before the ceremony.
🔹 Maintain fasting if recommended by your pandit ji until the puja is completed.
5. Documents to Keep Ready
🔹 House documents and keys (optional but recommended to place near puja items for blessings)
🔹 Horoscope (Kundali) copies if specific rituals based on nakshatra are involved
Bonus Tip: Book an Experienced Pandit Ji
Remember, while items are important, the correct chanting of mantras and the proper sequence of rituals are even more critical.
Always book a qualified and experienced pandit ji who will guide you through every step and ensure that divine blessings flow abundantly into your new home.
