Prasad, timing and closing lines

What to include in a puja invitation

  1. A blessing line, such as Shri Ganeshaya Namah, if your family uses one.
  2. Who is inviting, and the reason for the puja if there is one.
  3. Day, date and start time. The katha has five chapters and usually takes about an hour with aarti, though it varies with the pandit.
  4. Address and a map, especially for a new home that guests have not visited.
  5. What follows: prasad only, or a full lunch or dinner.
  6. How to reply, so you can plan the prasad and food.

Satyanarayan puja customs to keep in mind

  • Many families hold the puja on Purnima, the full moon day, but it can be done on any day the family or the pandit chooses.
  • Guests are traditionally expected to stay for the katha and aarti, and to take prasad before leaving. Saying the start time clearly helps.
  • Prasad differs by region: sheera in Maharashtra and Gujarat, panjiri and panchamrit in many North Indian homes, and other sweets elsewhere.
  • Some families ask guests to come in traditional clothes or to keep the gathering vegetarian; mention it gently if it matters to you.
  • Customs vary by family and region, so follow your elders and your pandit on the details.

Sending a puja invitation with Shubh

Choose a design from the puja invitations, add your wording and send it on WhatsApp. Guests open it in their phone's browser without an app or sign-in.

  • A puja with one event is free to make and share; free invitations carry a small "Made with Shubh" mark.
  • Guests tap RSVP and say how many adults and children are coming, so you know how much prasad and food to prepare.
  • The venue has a map pin, and you can add a parking note for your building.
  • Cards can be in English, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati and other Indian languages, or two languages side by side.
  • If the puja and a housewarming lunch are separate events, put both on one invitation: every package, free included, covers every function. See pricing.
