Is griha pravesh the same as a housewarming?

Largely, yes. Griha pravesh is the Hindu puja performed before a family moves into a new home, at an auspicious time set by the priest. A housewarming is the wider party. Most Nepali families combine both on one day and one card.

Why does a griha pravesh card give a saait?

The family enters the house and begins the puja at an auspicious moment calculated by the priest, called the saait. Close family attend at that time, so the card gives it next to the date.

Can I add a map to the new house on the card?

Yes. Add the address as the venue and the card shows a Google Maps link guests can tap for directions. Add a landmark in the wording too, since new houses are often not on the map yet.

What goes on a griha pravesh invitation card?

A griha pravesh card names the family as hosts, gives the Bikram Sambat date with the tithi and the saait for the puja, and the full address of the new home. Most cards also give a time for the lunch or dinner that follows.

A new house is often hard to find, so the map link on the card matters more than on any other invitation. Bihekocard adds a Google Maps link to the venue on every card.

Puja first, meal after

The puja happens at the saait, often early in the morning, with close family. Most guests come later for the meal. Give each its own time on the card so guests arrive when you expect them.

Directions that actually work
