Satyanarayan Katha

Description

Satyanarayan Katha is a traditional Hindu ritual performed to express gratitude to Lord Satyanarayan and seek his divine blessings. The puja involves narrating the sacred story (Katha) of Lord Satyanarayan, performing pooja with flowers, fruits, sweets, and offerings, and chanting mantras to invoke positivity, prosperity, and spiritual well-being.
