SATYANARAYANA PUJA

Satyanarayana Puja stands as the most potent ceremony to usher in truth, devotion, and abundance for your household. By honouring Lord Vishnu with heartfelt Sankalp (resolution), collective chanting, and shared prasad, you align your family with enduring wealth, harmony, and well-being.

Traditionally observed on auspicious occasions—most notably Purnima—and at major family milestones, this ceremony summons blessings of prosperity, harmony, and holistic well-being.

Speak your family’s intention aloud: peace, prosperity, and unity under Lord Vishnu’s protection. 

5.  Pran Pratishtha 

Energize the deity image by invoking Lord Vishnu’s presence with mantra chanting, offerings (naivedya), and aarti. 

6.  Aarti & Prasad
