About Satyanarayan Katha
The Satyanarayan katha is the most commonly kept household puja in north India, and it is a reading rather than a rite of passage. The story is told in five chapters from the Skanda Purana, each one closing with an aarti, and the family sits through all five rather than arriving for a moment of it.
It is kept on a purnima by preference, and at a house-warming, a wedding, a new job or the end of a long journey. The prasad is sinni — wheat flour, sugar and banana — and the tradition asks that it be shared beyond the household. Three hours, at home or at a temple.
Keeping a rite in Muzaffarpur
Muzaffarpur sits on the Maithili–Bajjika boundary, and its rites follow Mithila's karmakanda more often than the generic north Indian one. The differences show at a wedding and at a shraddh — which day carries which rite, and what is offered — and they are worth naming when the booking is made.
The town is dense in the middle and open at the edges, so an address near the Company Bagh and one on the Muzaffarpur–Sitamarhi road are very different journeys. Shravan takes the local Shiva bookings to Baba Garibnath and the queue with them.
