The Satyanarayan Vrat Katha is primarily performed on Poornima Tithi of a lunar month. Besides, it is also performed before commencing any auspicious task. It is believed that when one follows the lessons from the Satyanarayan Katha and observes the fast, the person is relieved from all his/her problems.

Traditionally Satya Narayan Katha is carried out in several households and temples in India with a lot of devotion. The Satya Narayan Katha can either be performed or by oneself. It is said that a person can attain all that he/she wishes for, if he listens to the Satya Narayan Katha on the day of Poornima.

Satya is considered the incarnation of Narayan. Lord Narayan is the symbol of breakage from worldly ties. Hence, when one decides to observe this fast all his/her wishes come true and he/she attains Moksha. This Vrat is done during the Poornima day of each month. On several occasions, it is also done during Chaturdashi as per Panchang calculations. However, many times as per the calculations of Panchang this fast is observed on Chaturdashi Tithi instead of Poornima, this is because this fast is to be commenced from the period of Moonrise keeping in mind the Pradosh time. If the Pradosh period falls on the first day itself and there is no clarity, then observing this fast on Chaturdashi Tithi will be most ideal.

Lord Vishnu is worshipped on this day. A fast is observed full day and Puja and Katha is carried out in the evening. Food is consumed only after that. Bathing, donation, chanting and penance also play a very important role in Satayanarayan Vrat. Let us find out which days are suitable for this Vrat this year.
