After "griha pravesam", a fire ritual known as "praavisya homam" is performed by the couple to the accompaniment of thirteen Veda mantras from the "Rg Veda". "Jayaadi homam" is also part of the "praavisya homam". This homam offers the salutation of the newly married couple to Agni Deva and asks for strength and nourishment to discharge the duties of a "grihasthas" for the next one hundred years. After that, the bride shifts her position from the right side of her husband to his left side. At that time, once again, she recites a Veda mantra invoking the gods for blessings of children and wealth to perform the duties of a householder.
