Satyanarayana Puja & Katha
Sri Satyanarayana Puja is the worship of Lord Vishnu as Satyanarayana, the embodiment of truth. Sri Ganesha Temple Plano performs it on every Purnima (full moon day) at 6:30 pm.
The puja is followed by the Satyanarayana Katha, the sacred story from the Skanda Purana in which Lord Vishnu describes the vratam to Sage Narada. The katha tells of devotees who were blessed by keeping their promise to perform the puja, and teaches the importance of truth and gratitude. The puja concludes with Deeparadhana and the distribution of prasadam, which all devotees are encouraged to receive.

When you book this puja, the priest recites the names and nakshatras of your family members in the sankalpam and offers the puja on your behalf.
