Sri Satya Narayana Swamy Vratham Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple

Swamy Sri Satya Narayana Vratham is a widely observed and revered ceremony. With a great deal of devotion, it is performed at Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple. Lord Vishnu in his Satya Narayana avatar is the object of this vratham. With complete dedication, priests conduct the ceremony. The puja comprises devotion to Lord Satya Narayana and reading his tale in five sections. The moral of the narrative is to live a decent life and to have faith. Prasad, which is prepared with rava, sugar, ghee, banana, and milk, is offered by devotees.

The puja begins with Ganapati Puja to remove obstacles, followed by Kalasha Sthapana with water, mango leaves, and coconut. The idol or image of Sri Satya Narayana Swamy is placed and decorated with flowers and turmeric. Devotees perform Panchamrit Abhishekam (milk, curd, honey, ghee, sugar) and offer sandalwood paste, kumkum, flowers, and incense. The highlight of the vratham is the Satya Narayana Katha, which consists of five chapters narrating the divine leelas of Lord Vishnu, recited with devotion. After each chapter, naivedyam (rava prasadam) and banana are offered. A deepa aarti is performed with camphor and oil lamps. Devotees and family members take blessings by sprinkling Kalasha water. The vratham concludes with a mangal aarti and distribution of prasadam. Fasting or consuming only prasadam is usually observed. Performing this vratham with sincerity ensures peace, prosperity, removal of past sins, and fulfillment of all rightful desires.
