Ukrainian woman was surprised to see Indian housewarming, said- ‘I have never seen such a housewarming before’
Ukrainian Woman in India : A video of Ukraine-based content creator Sandra On, living in India, is becoming increasingly viral on social media. In this video he has shared his experience of attending the Indian Housewarming (Griha Pravesh) ceremony for the first time.
Sandra told that she thought that the joy of getting a new home would be celebrated almost the same across the world, where families and friends come together to eat and celebrate. But what he saw in India completely changed his thinking.
In the video shared on Instagram, he said that the celebrations started at 6 am and before breakfast the entire family worshiped the Lord. Hindu priests were called to the house and special puja was performed for peace, happiness, prosperity and well-being of the family.

Ukrainian woman surprised to see Indian house entry
Sandra told that everyone had breakfast only after the puja was over. After this, bhajans, chanting and other religious rituals continued. After lunch the atmosphere became a bit informal and it was then that they realized it was becoming more like a traditional housewarming party.
He compared it with the tradition in Europe, saying that there guests usually arrive at the new house in the evening, tour the house, talk, eat together and sometimes return after celebrating with wine. According to him, the biggest difference between the celebrations of India and Europe is not just the rituals, but the feeling behind them. In India the beginning of a new house starts with blessings of God and expressing gratitude.

People called it a part of Indian culture
After the video went viral, a large number of social media users reacted to it. Many people told that in Indian culture, there is a tradition of starting every auspicious work by remembering God and house warming is also a part of it.
Some users, remembering the aroma of Havan, the fragrance of incense sticks and the peaceful atmosphere created during the puja, said that this is the most special thing about Indian Griha Pravesh.
Many people wrote that in India, home is not only considered a place to live, but is considered the basis of the future and new beginning of the entire family. For this reason, puja and blessings are given the most importance during house warming.
