Satya Narayan Katha
Satya Narayan Katha, performed at your home. The worship of Lord Vishnu as Satya Narayan — the lord of truth — with the recitation of His sacred katha, performed at your home to give thanks and bless a new chapter.
What is Satya Narayan Katha
Satya Narayan Katha is the worship of Lord Vishnu in His form as Satya Narayan, the protector of all creation. The ceremony pairs a formal puja with the recitation of the Satya Narayan Katha — the traditional story of the lord's grace — performed by families to give thanks and seek a smooth, blessed path ahead.
Why families choose it
To give thanks after a wish is fulfilled, to bless a happy occasion — a wedding, a new home, an anniversary, a naming or a promotion — or simply to invite Lord Vishnu's protection and grace over the household.
The Katha tradition
Beyond the puja, the family gathers to hear the Satya Narayan Katha read aloud — a cherished, accessible ceremony that can be held on any day, and is especially favoured on Purnima (the full-moon day).
