Griha Pravesh (House Warming Ceremony) in 2019 is a ceremony (or) puja performed on the occasion of one's first entry into a newly built house in the year 2019. The list of auspicious dates with muhurat timings of the year 2019 are listed on this website for your refrences and information.
Once the house is ready, the family moves into the house on an auspicious day that is determined by the astrological charts. It is believed that housewarming puja pleases all the gods and planets and wards off all the negativity. The religious rituals performed during griha pravesh are done for the safety and betterment of the individuals who live in the house. Other than the safety and success of the family members, house warming ceremony is also important to fetch in all the positive energies of the surroundings. Three types of griha pravesh have been mentioned in our ancient scriptures:

1. Apoorva: First entry to newly constructed house on a newly selected land is called apoorva (new) griha pravesh.
2. Sapoorva: Entry into an already existing house after traveling abroad or migration elsewhere is called sapoorva griha pravesh.
3. Dwandwah: Entry into a house to after reconstruction or renovation subsequent to damage due to fire, flood or earthquake, is termed as dwandwah (old) griha pravesh.

A good time to enter a new house is in the period of Uttarayan, from June 21 through December 20, in the months of Vaishaka, Shravan, and Margashirsh, in the constellation of Uttara, Magha, Ashwini, Swati, Pushya, and Revati, on an auspicious day. It is good to confirm this time with a qualified astrologer (or) priest.
