Overview
Satyanarayan Puja is one of the most widely performed household pujas in India. It honours Lord Vishnu in his form as Satyanarayan, the embodiment of truth (satya), and centres on the Satyanarayan Vrat Katha, traditionally attributed to the Reva Khanda of the Skanda Purana.
Durgakund takes its name from the historic Durga temple and the large water tank, or kund, beside it. The area sits in south Varanasi between Bhelupur and Lanka, along the road that leads towards the Sankat Mochan Hanuman temple, and it has long been one of the most devotional parts of Kashi.
