A monsoon housewarming

Meera's Griha Pravesh

Mist over green hills and still water

The Verma Home, Koregaon Park, Pune, Maharashtra, India

Meera invites you to bless her new home, rain and all.

Meera waited for the rains on purpose. The new house opens with the monsoon at the windows: a morning puja, the first diya carried over the threshold, and adrak chai with pakoras for everyone she loves.

269 rains until the first chai
