Sharadiya Navratri 2025 began on September 22 and will conclude with Vijayadashami in October. During these nine days, devotees across India worship Goddess Durga with devotion and grandeur. According to Vastu Shastra and astrology, some activities are especially auspicious in Navratri, while others should be avoided. One such debated question is: Should you do a housewarming (Griha Pravesh) ceremony during Navratri?
🌿 Housewarming in Navratri – A Sacred Belief
Scriptures and astrologers agree that beginning new ventures during Navratri is extremely auspicious. The blessings of Goddess Durga are believed to remove obstacles and bring prosperity. This is why many families plan their Griha Pravesh or first entry into a home during Navratri. Entering a house at this time is considered a way to invite divine energy, harmony, and growth.
🕉️ Best Dates for Griha Pravesh in Navratri
Astrologers suggest that:
Ashtami Tithi – Considered a Siddha Muhurta, where no separate muhurat is required.
Dashami Tithi (Vijayadashami) – Known as an Abujh Muhurta, meaning any work started on this day is automatically auspicious.
Thus, performing housewarming rituals on Ashtami or Dashami ensures Goddess Durga’s blessings and is believed to bring happiness and prosperity to the household.
✨ Final Word
According to Vastu and scriptures, housewarming during Navratri is not only permissible but highly recommended. Choosing Ashtami or Dashami makes it even more powerful. By moving into a new home during these divine days, devotees believe they invite Goddess Durga’s grace, ensuring positivity, peace, and abundance.
