Overview
Satyanarayan Puja for families in Ramnagar
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.
Ramnagar lies on the eastern bank of the Ganga, across the river from the main city of Varanasi. It is best known for Ramnagar Fort, the historic residence of the former rulers of Banaras, and for its long-running traditional Ramlila held around Dussehra.
ॐ नमो भगवते वासुदेवाय॥
Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.
Planning your puja in Ramnagar
Ramnagar is reached by road across the river; allow extra travel time from the ghats and central Varanasi.
Share your exact location in advance, as Pandits may be travelling from the city side.
Traffic can build up during the Ramlila and Dussehra period.
Independent houses and courtyards make larger havans and family gatherings easier.
For rituals that need the Ganga, the Pandit can advise whether to go to a ghat on the city side.
Book early if you want the puja on Purnima.
Keep banana leaves, fruits, panchamrit ingredients and flowers ready, or ask for samagri to be arranged.
