Satyanarayana Puja is one of the most widely performed pujas in Hindu households, dedicated to Lord Vishnu in his form as Satyanarayana, the deity of truth and virtue. This puja is often performed on special occasions such as weddings, festivals, or during times of personal happiness and gratitude.

The puja begins with a formal invocation to Lord Vishnu, where the devotee first worships Lord Ganesha for the removal of obstacles. The main focus of the puja is the Satyanarayana Vrat Katha, a sacred story that recounts the glory and importance of truth and devotion to Lord Vishnu. The story, when recited or listened to, serves as a reminder to live in accordance with dharma (righteousness).

The rituals involve the preparation of offerings like fruits, coconuts, flowers, incense, and holy water. The priest leads the ceremony, chanting mantras, offering bhoga (food offerings) to Lord Vishnu, and performing arati (devotional singing). The devotees offer prayers to seek blessings for health, prosperity, and spiritual progress.

At the end of the puja, the devotees are offered prasad, which is believed to bring blessings and positive results. Performing the Satyanarayana Puja is said to bring happiness, abundance, and peace to the family and household. It is also seen as a means to remove obstacles in life and ensure prosperity.
