The sixteen-step worship of Shri Satyanarayan — invocation through to aarti — performed in full, with the katha where the package includes it.
All sixteen upacharas performed in order, from avahana through to pradakshina, with kalash sthapana at the opening.
The sixteen-step worship followed by the recitation of all five chapters of the katha.
The complete sequence with the katha and a full closing aarti, kept as a household occasion with the family present.
The sixteen-step worship kept as an observance across sittings, with the katha recited at each and the sankalpa carried through.
The fullest form: the sixteen upacharas with an extended offering sequence, the full katha, and a closing havan.
Shodashopachara means sixteen upacharas: the full sequence of worship, from avahana and asana through padya, arghya, snana, vastra, gandha, pushpa, dhupa, deepa and naivedya to the closing aarti and pradakshina. It is the fullest of the standard upachara sequences and the one the Satyanarayan puja traditionally uses. The packages below add the katha, the aarti or a closing anushthan around it.
The sixteen upacharas follow the order in which a guest would be received: welcomed, seated, offered water, bathed, clothed, scented, fed and honoured. The Satyanarayan puja uses the full sixteen rather than the shorter five because the vrat treats the deity as received into the household for the occasion.
