New Delhi: Shri Satyanarayan Puja is conducted every Poornima to seek the blessings of Lord Narayana, who is the incarnation of  Lord Vishnu. Devotees are required to keep a fast on the day of the puja. The puja can be performed in the morning or in the evening. Evening Puja is more suitable for devotees as they can break their fast by obtaining Prasadam.


To appease Lord Vishnu in the form of Shri Satyanarayan, who is regarded as the embodiment of truth, many people perform this puja. Fasting and worshipping Satyanarayan is believed to bring praise, good health, and money.


According to Drik Panchang, Satyanarayan Vrat will be performed on Purnima Tithi of Shukla Paksha in the month of Paush i.e., on January 6, 2023.
