North Indian Pandit in Prayagraj
Prayagraj, still called Allahabad by many, is a home ground of the North Indian karmkand tradition. At the Triveni Sangam, families from across the Hindi speaking belt come for Pind Daan, Asthi Visarjan and Mundan, while households in the city book Satyanarayan Katha, Griha Pravesh, Vivah and Rudrabhishek in Sawan. Household vidhi here is largely Saryupareen and Kanyakubja, with Sanskrit mantras and explanation in Hindi.

About North Indian vidhi
In many North Indian homes a puja begins with Ganesh Pujan, kalash sthapana and the worship of the Navagraha, followed by the main deity. The kalash is commonly topped with mango leaves and a coconut wrapped in red cloth, and a sankalp is taken with the family's gotra. A havan with ahutis of ghee and samagri often closes the ritual, followed by aarti and prasad.
Katha plays a large role. The Satyanarayan Katha, for example, is usually read in Hindi or recited from the Skanda Purana with a Hindi retelling, and the family listens together before the aarti. Sundarkand Path, Hanuman Chalisa and Durga Saptashati Path are also common, especially on Tuesdays, Saturdays and during Navratri.
