Griha Pravesh & Housewarming
Griha pravesh gifts in natural gemstones
A gemstone piece for a new home, chosen by the symbol the family keeps. Certified, gift boxed and ready to hand over on the day.
Why these suit a griha pravesh
- Swastik and Om are threshold symbols, marked at a doorway before the family walks in
- Ganesha is invoked at the start of anything new, which is what moving in is
- Stands on its own base, so it needs a shelf and not a nail in a freshly painted wall
- Sealed under glass, so nothing needs cleaning in a house still being unpacked
- Not perishable and rarely duplicated, unlike sweets, plants and dry fruit boxes
Which piece to choose
- Swastik, Rs 25,900: the most occasion specific piece we make
- Ganesh front facing, Rs 19,900: for an entrance or a puja shelf, met head on
- Om in amethyst, Rs 13,900: suits any household and needs no explanation
- Ek Onkar in citrine, Rs 8,900: for a Sikh family, and our entry price
- Shri Ram in amethyst, Rs 22,900: for a devout household with a daily practice
- A single letter initial: the family surname, for an entrance console
Ordering in time
- Ready pieces dispatch in three to five working days
- The exact delivery date is shown on each piece before you pay
- Order at least a week ahead if the date is fixed
- Initials drawn to order, such as a name or joined letters, take four to eight weeks

Questions about this piece
A threshold symbol is the most appropriate choice. The Swastik is marked at a doorway before a family enters a new home, and Ganesha is invoked at the start of anything new. Both are given as framed gemstone showpieces that stand on a shelf and need no maintenance.
