Puja, Katha or havan at home checklist
For Satyanarayan Katha, Akhand Path, Sukhmani Sahib path, havan, Jagran and other prayers at home or in a hall.
Families often remember the venue, food and decoration and forget the one thing that keeps the day: someone to photograph it. Read why we made these lists.
Puja and Katha questions
How do we prepare for a Satyanarayan Katha at home?
Fix the date with the pandit, get the complete samagri list, arrange seating and prasad, inform neighbours about parking, and keep dakshina and gifts for the pandit ready.
Can GI.EVENTS arrange a pandit or priest?
We can help you find a pandit, priest or granthi suited to your tradition and language, subject to availability in your city.
