Satyanarayan Pooja Invitation in Marathi

In most Maharashtrian homes the Satyanarayan Mahapuja invitation is written in Marathi, because that is what the elders who receive it read first. These 83 designs open in Marathi with the usual lines already in place, from सप्रेम नमस्कार वि. वि. at the top to निमंत्रक at the bottom. You change the date, the time, the address and the family name, and the card is ready.

The language menu in the editor switches the sample wording between versions of the card. A family name such as कुलकर्णी is yours to type: most phones can add a Marathi or Hindi keyboard in their settings, and you can also paste it in from a message.

Marathi words you will see on the cards

• श्री सत्यनारायण महापूजा: the puja itself, written as the heading
• स. न. वि. वि. or सप्रेम नमस्कार वि. वि.: the traditional opening line
• तीर्थ प्रसादाचा लाभ घ्यावा: the request to stay for prasad after the puja
• स्नेह भोजन: dinner for the guests, usually from 7 in the evening
• कार्यस्थळ or स्थान: the venue line
• निमंत्रक or आपले नम्र: the hosts, followed by समस्त कुटुंबीय for the whole family

Vastu Shanti with the Mahapuja

Many families hold the Mahapuja together with the Vastu Shanti of a new home. The cards whose text says आमच्या नवीन वास्तूची शांती व श्री सत्यनारायण महापूजा are made for exactly that. Pick one of those, and give the address extra care: add the building or society name and the wing, since a new flat is hard to find on the first visit.

Send the card as a photo and paste one of these messages under it. The words follow the same pattern as the cards, so the message and the card read as one invitation. Change the day, date, time, address and family name before sending.

For elders who are not on WhatsApp, download the PDF as well. It prints at 5 by 7 inches, the usual size for a patrika handed over at the door.
