Which city and move-in window should we check?
Facing recorded: North-East. Orientation helps you discuss the home with your priest; it does not calculate a personal lagna or create a fixed clock-time recommendation.
What should you prepare for the welcome?
Kalash, leaves and coconut
Prepare these if your household's rite calls for them; ask your priest about the arrangement and placement.
Clean water and akshat
Keep water and unbroken rice for the sankalp and offerings used in your tradition.
A safely placed diya
Use a stable, heat-resistant tray, away from curtains and loose clothing. Never leave the flame unattended.
Toran and a prepared threshold
Clean and decorate the entrance as your household observes, while keeping the doorway and emergency access clear.
Your ishta-devata's image
Prepare your household deity's image or the sacred object used in your own tradition; the welcome is not restricted to one form of devotion.
Simple prasad and refreshments
Prepare the offerings appropriate to your rite, with food hygiene and guests' dietary needs in mind.
Havan supplies, only where suitable
Confirm fire permission and ventilation before arranging a havan. A priest should supervise the rite; never improvise an indoor fire.
What happens before, during and after entry?
Before entry
Confirm the home's readiness, local panchang and final ritual window with your priest. Clean the home, plan the sankalp and gather the supplies used by your household.
During the welcome
Follow your household's entry and invocation practice. Keep the altar and any flame safely arranged; a returned Abhijit window alone does not settle every ritual rule.
After the observance
Complete the prayer and share prasad according to your tradition. Attend to ventilation, extinguish flames safely and keep the new home welcoming; ask your priest whether any closing observance is required.
