The ritual worship of Lord Vishnu—the Sri Satyanarayana Puja—constitutes a special thanksgiving to the Godhead of the Hindu Trinity. It is generally performed on a full moon day, or Purnima, of every month or on any special occasion, such as achieving a milestone or fulfilling a wish. The months of Kartik, Vaisakh, Shravan, and Chaitra in the Hindu Calendar are ideal for this ritual. It can also be observed on new moon day or on a Sankranti, the beginning or end of a Hindu month.

Hindus believe that repeatedly chanting the name of Sri Satyanarayana or Lord Vishnu with love while listening to the Satyanarayan Katha (moral stories) can help one lead a righteous life. As the Bhagavad Gita says, "The Mahatmas among devotees, always speak and sing My glories, and try with determination, to realize Me.
