The story

The first step across the threshold

Families often mark the day with a kalash carried across the threshold, a toran of mango leaves at the door and a lamp lit before anything is unpacked. Many also hold a puja with a priest; customs vary by region and family.

A housewarming gift that understands the ritual becomes part of it.
