Performing Puja at home for a Rental House: Inviting Positivity & Prosperity
Moving into a new rental house is an exciting milestone, and performing a puja helps cleanse the space of negative energies while inviting peace, prosperity, and positivity. Many believe that a house retains energies from previous occupants, and conducting a Griha Pravesh Puja ensures that any lingering negativity is dispelled, creating a harmonious and auspicious environment for new residents.
