Satyanarayana Vratam

Satyanarayana Vratam is the vow families keep when something has been granted — a new home, a marriage, a recovery, a safe journey — and when something is about to be asked for.

Your purohit performs the pooja with you and reads the katha aloud. It is often kept on a Purnima, though your family may choose any day that suits you. Prasadam is offered at the close, and your samagri list will tell you what to prepare.
