Shifting into a new home in —whether it’s a flat in a high-rise, a builder floor, or a villa—requires careful attention to Vastu Shastra before the Griha Pravesh (housewarming ceremony). Performing a puja is important, but ensuring the house is aligned with positive energy is equally crucial.
Here’s a complete Pre-Griha Pravesh Vastu Correction Checklist you can follow:
✅ 1. Entrance & Main Door
- Ensure the entrance is clean, well-lit, and clutter-free.
- Place an auspicious symbol like Swastik, Om, or Kalash on the main door.
- If the door faces south or south-west, use Vastu remedies like brass strips or a toran.
✅ 2. Pooja Room & Spiritual Space
- Keep a small temple or sacred space ready before the puja.
- Ideally, place it in the North-East corner.
- Avoid keeping idols facing south.
✅ 3. Kitchen Placement
- The kitchen should ideally be in the South-East (Agni Kon).
- If located elsewhere, balance energies with appropriate colors (red, orange, or yellow).
- Ensure the stove is not placed directly opposite the sink.
✅ 4. Bedrooms
- Master bedroom: South-West is the best location.
- Avoid placing the bed under a beam.
- Keep mirrors covered while sleeping to avoid energy disturbance.
✅ 5. Toilet & Bathroom
- Check if toilets are in the north-east zone (not recommended).
- Keep doors closed and use sea salt bowls in corners to absorb negativity.
- Ensure proper ventilation and exhaust systems.
✅ 6. Staircase
- Should ideally be in the South or West direction.
- Avoid north-east placement, as it blocks positive energy.
- Keep the staircase area brightly lit.
✅ 7. Water Tanks & Storage
- Overhead tank: Preferably in the South-West (painted blue or black).
- Underground water tank: Best in the North or East direction.
- Avoid keeping heavy storage items in the north-east.
✅ 8. Energy Cleansing Before Entering
- Mop the entire house with salt water before rituals.
- Light camphor and incense sticks in all rooms.
- Sprinkle Ganga jal in every corner to purify the energy.
✅ 9. Colors & Décor
- Use light, pastel shades for walls before entering.
- Avoid dark or gloomy colors in the main rooms.
- Keep fresh flowers or indoor plants to attract positivity.
✅ 10. Griha Pravesh Essentials
