Satyanarayan Puja is one of the most beloved and widely performed pujas in the Hindu tradition. It is a thanksgiving and blessing-seeking ritual to Lord Vishnu in his form as Satyanarayan — the God of Truth.
Performed at an auspicious Muhurta in Kashi, this puja is particularly popular for new home blessings (Griha Pravesh), new business launches, wedding anniversaries, and as fulfilment of a vow made to Lord Vishnu.
