Nothing to do with possession, etc., but like Nagaraj, I thought of gṛhapraveśa, and also of varṣapraveśa, which is the (Tājika) astrological term for what is traditionally called the revolution of the year in English (and taḥwīl as-sana in Arabic, which was the language of the Tājika source texts) -- that is, the moment at which the sun returns to the zodiacal position it occupied at a person's birth, and for which a new horoscope is cast to determine his or her prospects for the coming year.
