Satyanarayana Vratham
What is Satyanarayana Vratham?
The vratham is dedicated to Lord Satyanarayana, a form of Vishnu. The family worships him with a kalasham and offerings, listens to the five chapters of the vrata katha and shares prasadam with everyone present. The Annavaram tradition made it a household favourite across the Telugu states, and it is often done as thanksgiving after a wish is fulfilled.
Choosing the day and muhurtham
Purnima evenings, Ekadashi, Sankranti and the Kartika masam are popular, but any auspicious day works. When it follows a wedding or Gruhapravesam, families usually hold it within a few days of the main event.

Many families follow north coastal Andhra (Uttarandhra) customs, and many others have roots elsewhere in India, so tell the purohit which tradition your family follows.
