For 5 years, the only type of funds you should look at are hybrid funds.
Suppose you want to invest 100 Rs per month for this housing goal.
In that 100, 20-30 should go to aggressive hybrid (a little equity heavy) funds. Rest 70-80 should go to debt heavy hybrid funds

Do not go into any kind of equity funds investing because the duration is only 5 years. Equity funds are okay only after atleast 5 years or more duration

It's very nuanced. But if you're looking for just places you can put your money bonds are always an option. There is a credit risk involved always. High yielding RDs by Small Finance banks are also there.
But the amount you'll be putting in will be huge so a hybrid approach of debt and equity is always best depending on your risk appetite have the split. I can explain the split a lot but gpt will help you way better with this. Also in 5 years unless there is a disaster going on NIFTY is going to outrank RD for sure. Even if markets are down at that time
