You can book a pandit online and have the puja arranged at your home.
What Is Satyanarayan Puja?
Satyanarayan Puja is a devotional ritual dedicated to Lord Vishnu, the preserver of the universe. The word “Satya” means truth and “Narayan” refers to Vishnu. During the puja, the Satyanarayan Katha is recited, which narrates stories highlighting the power of truthfulness and devotion. The puja is considered auspicious and can be performed on any day, though many families prefer Purnima (full moon day).
When Is Satyanarayan Puja Performed?
- On Purnima or Ekadashi, which are considered especially favourable
- After a wedding or a new beginning in life
- During Griha Pravesh, the housewarming ceremony
- After a new job, business launch or achievement
- On birthdays and anniversaries
- Whenever a family wishes to give thanks and seek blessings
