What the tradition says
House-pacification rite performed before occupying a new residence or after major renovation. Traditional texts pair it with offerings to Vastu-purusha at the eight cardinal points and a central agni-homa. Not strictly a graha-shanti - addresses the dwelling itself.
Traditional timing
- Pre-occupation muhurta is canonical (before moving in).
- Margashirsha-Magha-Phalguna months are emphasised.
- Avoid Bhadra and Rahu-kala windows on the chosen day.
