What a griha pravesh is

Griha pravesh is the ceremony of entering a new home for the first time, usually with a puja or havan at an auspicious time. Guests often bring a gift for the home and are given a return gift as they leave.

Why brass and copper are favourites

  • They’re traditionally considered auspicious and are used in puja.
  • They last for decades, so the gift stays with the home.
  • They’re useful every day, not just on the day of the puja.

Many families also avoid gifting knives or other sharp objects for a new home; that’s a tradition worth knowing even if you don’t follow it.
