How is the Muhurat Calculated?

Astrologers calculate the ideal time through Panchang Shuddhi. They evaluate:

• Best Nakshatras: Uttar Bhadrapad, Uttar Phalguni, Uttarshadha, Rohini, Margashira, Chitra, and Anuradha.
• Auspicious Tithis: Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami, Ekadashi, and Trayodashi.
• Best Weekdays: Monday (Moon - Peace), Wednesday (Mercury - Communication), Thursday (Jupiter - Wisdom), and Friday (Venus - Comfort). Avoid Tuesdays and Saturdays for shifting.

Types of Griha Pravesh Puja

According to tradition, there are three types of Griha Pravesh:

1. Apoorva: Entering a newly constructed home for the first time.
2. Sapoorva: Re-entering an existing home after a long absence (e.g., returning from working abroad).
3. Dwandhav: Entering a home after leaving it due to a natural calamity.
