Short answer: the most popular silver gifts for a griha pravesha are idols for the new pooja room, such as Lakshmi Ganesha Saraswati, Kamadhenu and Tirupati Balaji, along with pooja articles like diyas and plates. Silver is priced by weight, so the easiest way to match your budget is to choose by grams.
Why silver is a traditional housewarming gift
In many South Indian families, silver is given at a griha pravesha because it is pure, it lasts, and it goes straight into the pooja room of the new home. A silver idol becomes part of the family’s daily worship for years, which is why it is remembered long after other gifts.
