Satyanarayan Puja

The rite

Satyanarayan Puja is among the most requested North Indian home ceremonies, worshipping Lord Vishnu as Satyanarayan with katha, fruits, and shared prasad. Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma performs it throughout Bengaluru on Purnima, Saturdays, or any family-chosen thanksgiving day. Materials are listed on WhatsApp; the page does not state fees or promise success in lawsuits, jobs, or health. Allow about thirty minutes before the start for altar layout and for the pandit to review the samagri you arranged from the WhatsApp list.

Time at the house: 2–3 hours

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

The katha teaches honesty and devotion through stories families remember from childhood. Hosting at home lets elders who cannot climb temple ghats participate fully.

Obstacle removal in the story is spiritual metaphor; worldly results are not guaranteed by booking this puja.

Families usually block 2–3 hours for Satyanarayan Puja at home. A common reason to book is monthly or annual Purnima. Share gotra, names, and your Bengaluru area on WhatsApp so Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma can confirm samagri and travel before the day.

When families ask

• Monthly or annual Purnima
• After griha pravesh or major purchase
• Before son or daughter wedding as family vow
• Graduation or new job thanksgiving without outcome claims
• When you want the rite completed in one calm sitting without rushing the final arati and prasad
