What homam has to be performed for rented house
warming
whether one is entering a new house or is going to be on
rent in another house, it is necessary that he performs "NAVAGRAHA
HOMAM" along with "GANAPATHI HOMAM" to evade any bad omen and
for good prosperity.
If you want to do a simple grahapravesam function then
take a tumbler of rice and keep it at the threshold. With your right foot,
knock the tumbler inside the house (you may keep a newspaper inside to catch
the rice). This signifies welcoming Lakshmi into the house. Then walk in with
at least one picture of God. [Keep the picture in your intended altar or
anywhere facing West(ideal) or East, so you face East or West when praying. Light
two lamps, agarbathi and make a simple kheer(payasam), distribute it to all
friends who are present and only after this, bring your items inside. [Your
kheer has to be milk based. The significance is to let the milk boil and rise,
which indicates a rise in wealth, prosperity and happiness] You may also buy
sweets and share with your friends. enjoy your new home

Griha Pravesh is a ceremony performed on the occasion of one’s first entry
into a new house. Once the house is ready, the family moves in on an auspicious
day that is determined by the astrological charts. Purity of panchang (almanac)
and auspicious time (muhurat) must be considered during the griha pravesh. It
will be better if u consult some priest because its a very big ritual in our
Indian Community - Try if u can get some priest. In a newly built house, the
first entry is auspicious when the sun is in the uttarayan position. Auspicious
months for doing griha pravesh are - Magh (part January and part February);
Falgun (part February and part March); Baishak (part April and part May);
Jeshtha (part May and part June). Furthermore, the tithies (dates according to
lunar calender) 4, 9, 14 and Amavas (no moon night) should be avoided. Griha
pravesh should not be held on a Tuesday. Important Pooja to be performed are -

Griha pravesh is not complete until:
The doors of the house are fitted with shutters; The roof is covered; The
Gods of vastu have been worshipped or offered sacrifices; The priests have been
offered feast. House-warming ceremony should not be performed when the lady of
the house is pregnant.
If it is a rented house and involves only change of house the pooj is not
that cumbersome and can be by housewarmig cermoney. If it is a new house all
pandits too can not perform unless he is oriented towards homam/kratus/yagas as
it involves invoking dikpalakas,navagrahas and santhi poojas. Lot of offerings
to as part of grihapravesa pooja as danams are also involved to
pandits/brahmins.
2. you can do it on your own if you want with navagraha pooja,boiling milk
and if you like with satynarayana pooja and offering prasadam fruits and milk
to the Gods. choose a good day preferably around full moondays and on
Thursdays/fridays .timing is normally ushah kaalam say around 3 to 4 in the
early morning when it is said that our Devtas and spirits are said to be active
and going around .This is a belief and shanti involves offering sweets and food
to Brahmins/pandits. performing through a brahmin friend why not? if he knows
karma-kandas of Hindu religious practices. Normally a poojari of the Hindu
saiva temples in USA
will be able to help and guide on such issues and fix a muhurtam for entering a
new house.All other issues may not be very important but you must consider
proper timing fixed according to birthstar to avoid any bad effects inthe new
house
The things we carried included:
Kumkum
Haldi
Sandal powder
Camphor
Incense sticks
Flowers for pooja
Garlands for decoration
Different types of vilakkus (lamps)
Oil
Wicks for lamps
Ghee for homam
Homakundam
Woodshavings and other materials for homam
Various pooja utensils
Rice paste for kolam
Rice, urid whole and other navagraha dhanyas (paddy was being brought by the vadhyar)
Navagraha cloth pieces
Coconuts
Vengalapanai for boiling milk
Gas stove
Match box
It is a practice to spend the night on the day of the Grihaparvesam in the new house. Therefore we had to carry some sheets and pillows for sleeping there.
Since the flooring was marble, we added some haldi powder to the rice paste so that the kolam would be prominent. My niece made the kolams, while we arranged all the other things so that in the morning it would be easy to manage the things.
We got the chairs and tables for lunch. We called the caterer and confirmed the arrangements. We also called a taxi and asked him to pick us up next day morning from home.
It was already 9pm by then. We had to get ready by 6 am next morning. So we hired an auto and reached home, had dinner and went to bed around 12 pm and set the alarm for 3 am.
The muhurtham for the grihapravesham had to be either at 5.30 am or after 9.30am, We had chosen the later muhurtham as it would have been impossible for us to reach the place well in advance for 5.30am muhurtam, after preparing the payasam for the neyvedyam and Havis for the homam.
I got up at 3 am and prepared payasam and havis after my bath, by which time, my husband and son also got ready. The Vadhyar had said “you carry lighted vilakku, flowers, rice, dal, coconut, haldi powder, chandanam etc., when you go in. Accordingly we decorated the entrance with garland and entered the house and kept things ready for the Vadhyar.
By then my mother and niece arrived followed by my brothers and their families and other invitees. Breakfast arrived punctually at 08:30am and we all had good breakfast of idlis, vadai, kesari and coffee. As lighting of the stove was not allowed inside the house until after the grihapravesam, we had made arrangements for another gas stove to be placed outside in the veranda/lobby for preparing coffee. The caterer had brought milk, cups, coffee decoction and sugar. This way we ensured that fresh and hot coffee could be served to the guests as when they arrived. To our satisfaction, we could give breakfast to our guests upto about 10.30am. This was essential as many of the guests were not familiar with the location and had to spend a little extra time searching/enquiring etc to locate the address. Being peak summer many were quite tired by the time they arrived. We had also arranged fresh lemon juice to be prepared and served to all. The caterer also had brought enough and more of the food items to be served for all the people.
Around 9 am the Vadhyar arrived with 4 other vadhyars and started the preparations for the pooja.
We were once again asked to enter the house with kumbham, vilakku, flowers, coconut, etc.
At 9.30am, punyaham and kshiraprasanam (the stove is lighted for the first time in the house and milk is boiled. This milk is offered to the God as neivedyam and is taken by the yajamana, his family and guests) were done, followed by Ganapathy Homam, Navagraha Homam and Vasthu Homam.
All the homams and pooja went quite satisfactorily and all the invitees attended the function.
By the time the homams were over, lunch had arrived. We had arranged with the same caterer we had arranged for the “Grihapravesham” of our house, we are living in now. The only difference being that then he had come and cooked at our premises and we had a buffet lunch with more invitees, this time around, he prepared the food and brought it and we had fewer invitees.
