When it comes to a new house in India, the owners are very particular about the ‘Griha Pravesh’ ceremony. It is believed that this ceremony helps reduce the impact of evil spirits and raise the level of surrounding energy. Thus, this ceremony is performed on an auspicious day. The date is calculated by the Hindu priests or astrologers on the basis of ‘Panchanga’. The festive season is the best time for buyers to invest in real estate properties and also to perform the ‘Griha Pravesh’ ceremony. Given the present season of festivals, buyers are investing in properties at prime locations in the metro cities like Kolkata and making arrangements for the ‘Griha Pravesh’ ceremony.

Let us note down a few tips on performing the ‘Griha Pravesh’ ceremony and making it a grand success.

1. Select the perfect date: An auspicious date is absolutely mandatory for performing the ‘Griha Pravesh’ ceremony. One cannot just do it on any day. It is believed that Vasant Panchami, Gudi Padwa, Akshay Tritiya and Dussehra are some of the most auspicious days for the performance of this ceremony. Astrologers and Vastu Shastra experts opine that the homeowners should avoid fixing a date on these particular days like Holi, Shraddha Paksha, Uttarayana or Adhikmas. In the coming month of November also, there are some couple of days ideal for performing this ceremony.

2. Do not go for ‘Griha Pravesh’ for an apartment under-construction: One must not perform a ‘Griha Pravesh’ in an under-construction apartment. According to ‘Vastu Shastra’ experts, the walls must be fully painted with the ready ceiling and well-fitted doors, windows and other home fixtures. That is to say, only when your apartments are completely done up, you should perform this ceremony. Please keep in mind some believe that homeowners need to spend 3 consecutive nights in the new flats after the performance of the religious ceremony. Without it being completely done up, it is impossible to move in and spend your time there even if it is for a temporary period.

   

3. The worship of ‘Vastu Purush’: Primarily the ‘Vastu Purush’ is worshipped during ‘Griha Pravesh’. The importance of entrance to the apartment is very important and hence it should be decorated with auspicious symbols like the ‘Swatika’ and ‘Laxmi Feet’. These symbols should be drawn to the threshold. One should hang garlands made of mango leaves and marigold flowers and hang it at over the front door. The temple or the room of worship should be built at the north-east corner of the apartment and one should place the deities on the day of ‘Griha Pravesh’ itself.

4. Make it elaborate or simple-choose the option correctly: Whether or not to make the celebration a grand event depends on the wishes of the homeowners. Nothing is mandatory at this point. However, one must offer food to the deities, priest and the invitees.

5. Perform a "havan": For the purification of the surrounding environment and to reduce the influence of evil spirits, ‘havan’ must be performed. Generally one conducts ‘Ganesha Puja’, ‘Navagraha Shanti’ and ‘Vastu Puja’ during the ‘Griha Pravesh’ ceremony. 

 

This whole festive season had been an ideal time for buying a real estate property in Kolkata. Hopefully, the tips will help you bring the best of your luck.

One of the most significant factors behind the rapid development of the real estate properties is how fast you adopt the latest technical trends and utilise them for the enrichment of the industry. As Indian metropolitan cities like Kolkata is experiencing an explosive growth, it is becoming necessary to adopt the latest techniques quickly as is possible. Here, we shall discuss the top technological trends ruling the market at present and briefly analyse its impact on the industry.

The Top Tech Trends in the Kolkata Real Estate Industry

We can say that with the incorporation of latest technical trends, the new age of the residential construction industry has begun.

1. Faster execution Techniques: There is no doubt that the importance of on-time delivery of apartments is high on the priority list of both the builders and the buyers. That is why faster execution techniques are being implemented by the real estate builders in Kolkata.

2. Building Information Modeling or BIM: Over the years, Building Information Modeling has become a necessity. BIM is nothing but one or a set of multiple virtual models of the building which are near-to-perfect images of the original version of the building. These images are constructed digitally. Throughout various stages, these images support the design phases and compared to manual processes, BIM images offer a better analysis and allow a greater control.

3. Virtual Reality: How about offering a real-life experience of individual rooms of the apartments? Virtual Reality has made it possible and now it is possible to showcase the concept of a building long before the actual work of construction will begin. The buyers will get a better insight of the space issues and enhancement of functionalities once they will take a look at the 3D VR images. Some popular gadgets offering a VR tour of the building are Google Cardboard and Samsung Gear VR. One can start the journey with the help of only a Smartphone.

4. The Big Data Revolution: This Big Data technique is going to play a very important role in the planning and design phases of the construction industry. The builders and architects of apartments in Kolkata could take its help for saving money and time. With its help, the building designs could be tested long before the process of actual construction had started.

5. Energy Modeling: Now this method was prevalent in the industry for several years, however, all because of its high cost and a huge time consumption, it was not very popular. Thanks to the advent of software tools like Autodesk Formit and Sefaira, energy analysis is now an easy job performed on the conceptual designs.

Technology is here to help us perform better in the world of real estate industry. It solely depends on us how rapidly we adopt them and utilise them for our benefit. Kolkata real estate industry would surely get lots of benefits from these tech trends. We are keeping our fingers crossed.
