What is Satyanarayana Puja

Lord Satyanarayana is another form of
Lord Vishnu who is commonly worshipped by Hindus in their homes. He has four hands like Lord Vishnu, however, his fourth hand
does not hold a lotus rather it is extended upward to bless people.

The worship is performed usually on a full moon (purnima) day of the month by reciting the gracious story of the Lord which was once
told by Lord Vishnu himself to sage Narada for the benefit of humankind.

The Lord's grace is described in a Hindu book called Skanda Purana.

Puja includes:
Sankalpam, Ganapathi Puja, Pancha Loka Palaka Puja, Navagraha Puja, Indradi Ashta
