Ram Katha
राम कथा
The rite
Ram Katha is told discourse on Ram's life—stories, teachings, and bhajans woven together—not a silent private Manas reading. Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma narrates for family and guests in your home.
Time at the house: About 2–4 hours for a standard home katha; longer festivals by agreement
Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma does this at the house in Bengaluru. The fee is not printed on this page. It is sent on WhatsApp with the material list.
Why families book it
Katha includes explanatory pauses so children understand; keep microphone off unless the hall is large— in flats the pandit's natural voice suffices.
Bhajan segments are shorter than all-night jagran to respect apartment quiet hours; end main katha before 9:30 pm unless society allows later.
