घरमा पूजा गर्न पूर्ण चरण-दर-चरण गाइड
समर्पित Lord Vishnu as Satyanarayana
Observe a fast throughout the day (or at least until the puja). Bathe, wear clean yellow or white clothes, and set up a chowki covered with yellow cloth in the puja area.
Sit facing east or north. Hold water, akshat (unbroken rice), and a flower in your right palm. The Sankalp mantra below is pre-filled with today's panchang (tithi, nakshatra, samvat year, lunar month, and weekday) — only the bracketed cues marked [say "…"] remain for you to fill in: your city, your gotra, and your full name. Women replace गोत्रोत्पन्नः with गोत्रोत्पन्ना. Release the water, akshat, and flower onto a plate as you finish the mantra.
ॐ विष्णुर्विष्णुर्विष्णुः। श्रीमद्भगवतो महापुरुषस्य विष्णोराज्ञया प्रवर्तमानस्य अद्य ब्रह्मणो द्वितीये परार्धे श्वेतवाराहकल्पे वैवस्वतमन्वन्तरे कलियुगे प्रथमचरणे जम्बूद्वीपे भारतवर्षे भरतखण्डे आर्यावर्तान्तर्गते [say "your city name"] नगरे, विक्रम संवत्सरे 2083 (सिद्धार्थी) वत्सरे, ज्येष्ठ मासे, शुक्ल पक्षे, द्वितीया तिथौ, मङ्गलवासरे, आर्द्रा नक्षत्रे, [say "your gotra, e.g. Kashyapa"] गोत्रोत्पन्नः, [say "your full name"] नामाहम्, सकल दुरित क्षय पूर्वक सकल अभीष्ट सिद्ध्यर्थं श्री सत्यनारायण प्रीत्यर्थं श्री सत्यनारायण व्रत पूजनम् अहं करिष्ये।
The tithi, nakshatra, lunar month, weekday and samvat year in the mantra above are today's values (२०२६ जुन १६, मङ्गलबार). This puja can be performed on any day — if you're performing it on another day, say that day's panchang values instead.
Place a kalash filled with water on the chowki. Add a coin, akshat, supari, and a flower. Top with mango leaves and a coconut wrapped in red or yellow cloth. Tie moli around the neck of the kalash.
Worship Lord Ganesha first with durva, red flowers, chandan, akshat, and modak/laddoo. No Hindu puja begins without Ganesha.
ॐ गं गणपतये नमः॥
Worship the nine planets (Navagraha) and the eight directional guardians (Dikpala) briefly with akshat and flowers to ensure a harmonious puja. This is characteristic of Satyanarayan Katha.
Invoke Lord Satyanarayana into the idol or Shaligram by chanting the Avahana mantra. Perform the sixteen upacharas — Asana, Padya, Arghya, Achamaniya, Snana (panchamrit), Vastra (yellow cloth), Gandha (chandan), Akshat, Tulsi and Pushpa, Dhupa, Deepa, Naivedya (sheera), Tambula, Pradakshina, Namaskar. Tulsi is essential.
ॐ नमो भगवते वासुदेवाय॥ ॐ श्रीं ह्रीं सत्यनारायणाय नमः॥
Recite all five chapters (Adhyaya) of the Satyanarayan Vrat Katha — the story of Lord Satyanarayana as told by Lord Vishnu to Narada. Pause after each chapter for all attending devotees to offer a pinch of akshat to the deity. Listening to the katha is the heart of the vrat.
जय देव जय देव जय लक्ष्मीरमणा। सत्यनारायण स्वामी जनपातक हरणा॥
Perform the Satyanarayan Aarti with a lit camphor in a thali. Sing 'Jai Lakshmi Ramana' and let every devotee take the flame for blessings. Ring the bell throughout.
जय लक्ष्मी रमणा, स्वामी जय लक्ष्मी रमणा।
Offer a handful of yellow flowers at the feet of the deity while reciting the Satyanarayan Pushpanjali mantra. Pray for the fulfilment of your intention.
Distribute the sheera prasad to all attending devotees. Everyone breaks the fast together after consuming the prasad. Feed brahmins and/or the needy before the householders eat — this is an essential part of the vrat.
