About Griha Pravesh (Rented House)
What is Griha Pravesh (Rented House)?
A shorter griha pravesh for moving into a rented flat or house: Ganapati pooja, Punyahavachanam, Vastu pooja and milk boiling, without the full homam.
Families moving into a rented home still enter on a good day with a kalasham and lamp and boil milk as the first act in the kitchen; this pooja keeps those essentials in about two hours.
