Housewarming & Satyanarayan puja
Pure veg, no onion or garlic, served straight after the aarti.
The meal is part of the ritual, not an event around it. It is satvik, it is a traditional Maharashtrian thali, and its timing is set by the priest rather than by you — which is why the kitchen holds the food hot rather than delivering to a clock.

Housewarming & Satyanarayan puja: the questions we are asked
How many guests is a housewarming & satyanarayan puja usually?
Most run to 30–120 guests, and 60 is the headcount we plan around by default. Tell us yours and the spread is scaled to it rather than to a package size.
What does catering a housewarming & satyanarayan puja cost?
Menus run ₹299–₹399 per guest, so 60 guests works out around ₹17,940–₹23,940 on the food, with delivery and GST on top. That is an indication rather than a quote — the quote follows once we have your date, headcount and menu.
How much notice do you need?
2 days' notice for this one. It is longer than our usual 24 hours because of what this occasion involves, so it is worth getting the date in early.
When is it served, and how?
Lunch, after the aarti. Buffet setup advised.
