About Housewarming

A housewarming marks the day a family moves into a new home. Friends and relatives come to bless the house and the people who will live in it.

In India the day is called Griha Pravesh, Grahapravesam or Puthumanai Puguvizha. Families choose an auspicious time, boil milk until it flows over as a sign of plenty, light a lamp and hold a small puja. In many other places a housewarming is a relaxed party with food and small gifts for the home.

Guests bring plants, kitchen things, sweets or a framed picture, and wish the family peace, health and many happy years under the new roof.

How people celebrate Housewarming

  • Boiling milk until it overflows
  • Lighting a lamp at the entrance
  • Mango leaf thoranam at the door
  • Puja or prayers
  • A meal for guests

How to wish well

  • Wish the home and the family, not only the house: peace, health and happy days inside it.
  • If you are invited to a Griha Pravesh, arrive on time; it follows an auspicious hour.
  • Useful gifts are welcome: a plant, a lamp, kitchen items or sweets.
  • Keep jokes about loans and moving boxes light and kind.
