Documenting Housewarming

From the age of 3 or 4, the idea of building a house is etched. It may be a stick diagram or a beach castle, but imagining and putting in creativity to come up with a house - is indeed an accomplishment. Which type of kid were you, one who draws on paper or builds on sand? 

Similarly, while each one of us has come across a thousand different houses. From a hut, villa, apartment, row house, duplex, farmhouse, penthouse, mansion, or even a mobile house. To us, each that we’ve seen leaves us with an "awe" factor or something that would have been better about the house. At the same time, put yourselves into the shoes of the person who built it.  He or she has put their heart, soul, sweat, money, dreams, energy, and every ounce of his zeal in building that one house. Do you agree with me?

How is all this possible? How can one spend so much energy on building something? There comes the beauty of the process. Building that house would have been a dream deep down, to put that dream into paper and to reality - takes a lifetime. 

A true lifetime achievement indeed calls for an amazing grand opening.  The housewarming ceremony is not just an occasion of celebrating the new residence, but an opportunity to host family and friends, and serve them with good food and positive vibes. 

Housewarming ceremony happens differently in various parts of the world. One that's quite common is the "Grahapravesham" performing the Ganesh pooja, Vasthu pooja, navagraha pooja followed by grahapravesham pooja. This is to symbolically bring in positivity and cleanse the aura of the new home before entering.

Another way of celebrating is by throwing a party for Kit and kin. Just with good food, drinks and loud music and some dance of course. Interestingly, during ancient times, housewarming meant bringing firewoods and build fires in fireplaces available in the new house before the central heating. Yes, you read it right. Then till now, the ways of celebrations might be different. But, the idea instilled is just one. 

May the people entering the house be filled with peace, love, and laughter. May the house be treated right and serve the purpose of being an amazing host throughout its lifetime. For all your housewarming needs check us our works here!
