Originally, the instructions were given by Rishi Narada Muni. Even you can do it, and a priest is usually not necessary for performing the Satyanarayan Pooja at home. The Satyanarayan Vrat Katha is an extremely simple Pooja. But, you can also opt for this Pooja to be performed in the evening. It is especially auspicious on a Poornima and it is more apt to perform the Pooja in the evening. You can do a Satyanarayan Bhagwan Katha any day, and is not a Puja that you can do only on simpler occasions but also on any occasion that holds even little significance in your life. So, mainly the Satyanarayan Pooja dates would very much be these personal occasions and other festivals.Įven special days like marriage days, birthdays, during our small successes in life, during Griha Pravesh (house warming ceremony), and many more such smaller occasions are reasons for reciting the Satyanarayan Puja Katha. Usually Asadha Chandra Masa is an exception to the recitation of the Satyanarayan Vrat Katha. Satyanarayan Bhagwan Katha is recited and observed primarily on the occasions of Poornima, Ekadashi, Kartik Poornima, Vaisakh Poornima, solar eclipses, or during Sankranti. When do people observe Satyanarayan Vrat?

Satyanarayan Vrat is quite popular in almost all parts of India and regions of Gujarat, Assam, Bengal, Maharashtra, Telangana, Bihar, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and Manipur. The details of the Satyanarayan Vrat Katha are mandatorily recited every time someone keeps the Pooja. Skanda Purana mentions Reva Kanda by Suta Puranik and it was delivered to the Rishis in Naimisharanya. Satyanarayan Vrat is mentioned for the first time in the Purana.


Even on social functions some people prefer keeping a Satyanarayan Vrat Katha or Satyanarayan Katha. Satyanarayan Vrat Katha ensures humans are blessed by health, wealth and prosperity. Satyanarayan Vrat Katha is the process of worshipping the “highest truthful being.” Indirectly Lord Vishnu is worshipped on this day and Satyanarayan Vrat is a vow or in short an obligation, humans often fulfill.
