Satyanarayan katha

Satyanarayan Puja is a sacred Vedic ritual performed to seek the blessings of Lord Satyanarayan, the compassionate form of Lord Vishnu. Satya means Truth and Narayana signifies the Supreme Being, together representing divine truth, righteousness, and justice. This puja is performed to fulfill wishes, remove obstacles, and bring peace, prosperity, and well-being into life.
