Uses of Navadhanya for Grahapravesam
- The Grahapravesam or house warming ceremony is a ritual performed before someone starts living in a new house.
- Sometimes, a Grahapravesam may also be performed if the house or a portion of the house has been rebuilt, or if someone is coming back to live in the house after being away in a different place for a long number of years.
- The objective of performing this ritual is to invoke the blessing of the gods to grant happiness, peace, prosperity and longevity to the people who are going to live in the house.
- During this ritual, the Navadhanya is one of the essential Hindu pooja items. These nine grains are placed in a pot filled with water along with a one rupee coin and a coconut is then placed on top of the pot. The priest then performs the pooja ritual after which this pot is taken inside the house and placed near the homam fire.
Use of Navadhanya during Navarathri festival
- Navadhanya is also an important part of the Navarathri festival which is celebrated for nine continuous days in worship of the Hindu goddesses.
