- Silver / brass Kalash on a clean cloth at centre
- Nine mango leaves around the Kalash rim
- Coconut on top with red thread (moli)

## Frequently asked

### How much does a housewarming service cost in India 2026?

₹5,000–₹25,000 depending on home size and scope. Basic 2BHK package (clean + one meal cook + fixes) ₹5,000–₹10,000. Full 3BHK with catering, plants, electrician + plumber ₹15,000–₹25,000.

### When should I book griha pravesh services?

Cook and cleaner 10 days ahead. Electrician and plumber 5 days ahead. Post-event cleanup ideally booked at the same time as pre-event.

### Do I need a vastu consultant for the puja setup?

Not compulsory for a home ceremony — most families follow guidance from the family priest. Solve24 helpers with puja experience can set up the standard Kalash + deity + diya arrangement.

### How many people is a standard puja lunch for?

15–25 people is typical for a home griha pravesh. Cook cost ₹3,000–₹8,000. For 30+ people, book party catering at ₹250–₹600 per plate.

### Should I book post-event cleanup?

Yes — griha pravesh generates lot of food waste, disposable plates, flower waste. Post-event cleanup at ₹1,500–₹3,500 for a 2BHK is much better than doing it yourself after a full puja day.
