New flat griha pravesh
Entrance toran, a puja corner and one photo wall, sized for a flat with no furniture in it.
Your family walks in at a fixed time, and the decor has to be ready before that. We plan griha pravesh setups backwards from the muhurat: entrance toran, rangoli, puja corner and lighting for a home with nothing in it yet.
Fix the muhurat time first. At a griha pravesh everything works backwards from the moment your family steps in, because whatever is meant to be seen then has to be finished before it. Tell us that time and the rest of the plan builds itself.
The second thing that shapes the job is the state of the house. Most of these setups happen in a home with no furniture, no curtains, bare light fittings and polishing dust still on the floor. We plan for that: a table brought in for the welcome sweets, chairs for elders, warm lighting for rooms that have none, and entrance decor fixed without a single nail going into new paint.
Customs differ from family to family and from one priest to the next. Some want the doorway and the threshold dressed and little else. Others want a full puja corner, a photo wall and an evening gathering for friends. We set up for what your family has planned, whether it is a new tower in Kharadi, a row house in Bavdhan or a flat handed over in PCMC, and we clear our packaging out before your guests arrive.
Every photo here is from an event our team planned and ran.
Take the pieces your morning needs, and we set them up and take them down.
Mango leaves, marigold strings or fresh flowers at the main door, fixed without drilling into a new frame.
The threshold cleaned and kept clear, with colours and stencils arranged, or the rangoli done for you.
A clean, ventilated corner with low seating, a simple backdrop and room for the priest to work.
One draped table near the door for sweets, gifts and mithai boxes, since the house has no furniture yet.
Soft lamps and warm lights for rooms that still have bare holders or harsh builder tubes.
Chairs with back support near the puja, so older relatives are not left standing in an empty flat.
Entrance toran, a puja corner and one photo wall, sized for a flat with no furniture in it.
Gate and porch decor, a floral entrance, rangoli and a puja area planned across two levels.
Everything outside the door finished before first light, so nothing is being built as you arrive.
Warm lights, a food counter and a styled corner for friends who come after work.
Entrance decor, a floral gate and a clean backdrop for the opening photographs and the puja.
A balloon arch and welcome board for families who want colour without fresh flowers.
Marigold strings, mango leaves, banana stems and brass urli bowls through the entrance and puja corner.
Decor planned around catering counters and hired seating, for a house that is still empty.
Fix the muhurat, then work backwards. A griha pravesh has a hard deadline that nothing can move: the family walks in at a set time, and anything meant to be seen at that moment must be finished before it. Every other decision follows from that one line on the calendar.
Families keep different customs at the door and in the puja, and what one household treats as essential the next one leaves out. We set up for what your family and your priest have planned, and we never tell anyone how a ritual should be done.
Most griha pravesh muhurats fall early in the morning, so the setup happens the previous evening or in the dark before it. Sort out one question first, because it changes the whole plan: is anyone allowed into the house before the entry? Many families would rather nobody went in. If that is your preference, say so early. We then build everything outside the door before the muhurat and finish the inside quickly once the puja is under way.
If you are comfortable with the house being opened beforehand, the morning is easier and the result is better, because the puja corner, the lighting and the photo wall can all be ready when you walk in. Either way, tell us who holds the keys and who will be present, since the person with the keys is usually the person being pulled in every direction that morning.
An empty home is both the easiest and the hardest space to decorate. Easy, because there is nothing to work around and nothing to stain. Hard, because everything decor normally leans on is missing: no side table for a lamp, no curtain rod, no sofa to seat elders, often no fittings and no fan.
So plan for the gaps. Assume you need a table or two brought in for the welcome sweets and the gifts, chairs for the elders, and warm lighting for rooms with bare holders. Assume the floor has polishing dust on it whatever the builder says, and have it cleaned the day before rather than on the morning. If the flat still smells of paint, open it up early and keep strongly scented flowers out of that room.
Spend at the door. The entrance is where the ritual happens, where every guest pauses and where nearly every photograph from the morning is taken. A toran across the frame, a floral arch or two side pillars, a clean stretch of floor for the rangoli and a small welcome table are usually enough to make the whole home feel dressed.
One caution that saves money later: nothing should be drilled or nailed into a new frame or fresh paint. We use free-standing frames, clamps and tension supports instead. Check the corridor width too, so an arch does not block a neighbour's door or a fire exit, and ask whether your society allows the passenger lift for decor material or insists on the service lift, because that decides how early we start.
| When | What happens | Who is needed |
|---|---|---|
| The evening before | Floor cleaned, flowers ordered, frames and lights carried up | Someone with keys and lift access |
| Before first light | Toran, arch, rangoli area and welcome table built outside the door | The setup team only |
| Shortly before the muhurat | Final check: threshold clear, lights tested, walkway open | One family member to approve |
| The entry itself | Family enters; the door area kept free of ladders, boxes and crew | Family and priest |
| Right after the entry | Puja corner dressed, inside lights on, gift table set | Quick access to the rooms |
| Before guests arrive | Photo corner finished, shoe area sorted, packaging removed | Nobody, we clear it |
Write this order down and keep it on the kitchen platform. On the morning itself nobody has time to explain anything, and a printed running order settles most arguments before they start.

Griha pravesh decoration is the setup done for a housewarming, built around the entrance and the puja corner. It usually includes a toran and floral arch at the main door, a clean threshold for the rangoli, a dressed puja area with seating for elders, a welcome table for sweets and gifts, and warm lighting for rooms that have none.
Before your muhurat entry, without exception. Since most entry times fall early in the morning, we set up the previous evening or in the dark before it, finishing the entrance first. If your family prefers that nobody enters the house before you do, we complete the outside work first and dress the inside once the puja has started.
Yes, and most griha pravesh setups are exactly that. We bring in a draped table for sweets and gifts, chairs with back support for elders, and warm lighting for rooms with bare holders or builder tubes. We also plan for polishing dust, paint smell and missing fittings, so send photographs or a short video of the flat.
Yes. Nothing is nailed or drilled into a new door frame, fresh paint or a finished wall. We use free-standing frames, clamps and tension supports for the entrance arch and the backdrop, and we check corridor width so nothing blocks a neighbour's door or a fire exit. Tell us if your society has additional rules.
The entrance usually carries a toran across the frame, a floral arch or two side pillars, a clear stretch of floor for the rangoli and a small welcome table. It is worth spending here first, because the ritual happens at the door, every guest stops there, and most photographs from the morning are taken in that spot.
Cost depends on the size of the entrance, whether flowers are fresh or artificial, how detailed the puja corner is, how much lighting an empty home needs, whether tables and chairs have to be brought in, and how early our access starts. Send the muhurat time, the address and photographs, and we will send an itemised quote.
Book two to three weeks ahead, and earlier if your muhurat falls on a popular date when many families are moving in. Simple entrance setups can be arranged in a few days. Share the entry time, the floor and lift details, the society's setup rules, and whether the house is cleaned and handed over yet.
