What decides the cost of a Satyanarayan Katha
The katha is three hours and one pandit, and the samagri list is short and cheap — the sinni ingredients, the panchamrit, flowers and a chowki. What moves the quote is the venue: kept at a temple it may carry the temple's own charge, and kept at home it carries only the pandit's travel.
What is different in Darbhanga
Most rites here are kept at home, so travel is the main variable and the temple charge rarely applies. A Mithila wedding's dates are agreed later than elsewhere because the Panji consultation comes first, and a late-agreed date is quoted against what is still available rather than against the whole season.
