Foundation is the very first step towards starting construction of any building . In India we do it in a very different way & call it auspicious foundation.
In this process owner of land organise a worship which is done by a Priest or Pandit jion a auspicious date which is selected by priest after going through Panchang or Almanac
The whole worship is done within a time period of 2 hours. This process starts with prayers and mantras chanted by priest and then 5 pieces of stones are cleaned by milk, curd and clarified butter after that these terms are decorated with sandal,stalk , kumkum, flowers, etc
Then in the end these holy stones are placed in a Pit by the owner himself according to the orders of the priest by worshipping that land
Main reason behind all these rituals is to make the land free from any spirit or any negative energy and make it suitable for new construction and accommodation.
