I feel doing the satyanarayana swamy pooja at home is very auspicious. Satyanarayan is a form of Lord Vishnu. T is believed that once you perform the Satyanarayan pooja, you and your family will be able to overcome any problems or difficulties in life. It is very easy to perform this pooja. I might not be correct but let me share how to perform satyanarayan pooja at home, the way I followed. 

Can we do Satyanarayana Pooja at home without Pandit?

Do not worry about satyanarayana pooja at home without priest. It can be done by anyone, be it the father, mother, husband or wife. There are just some steps that you should follow-

• Clean the house or mandir thoroughly and decorate the pooja area with flowers, rangoli (coloured powder), lights or more things 

• Arrange all the necessary items for the pooja, such as turmeric, kumkum (vermilion), sandalwood paste, incense sticks, camphor, fresh flowers, fruits, coconut, betel leaves, betel nuts, rice, and sweets (prasad).

• Obtain a Satyanarayana Swamy picture or idol for the pooja.

• Place a small bowl of water, a betel leaf with a betel nut, and a few flowers on a plate near the deity.

• Begin the pooja by lighting the lamp and incense sticks.

• Offer flowers, turmeric, kumkum, and sandalwood paste to the deity while chanting the following mantra: "Om Gam Ganapataye Namah, Om Namo Narayanaya Namah, Om Satyanarayanaya Namah."

• Make a Sankalp, which is a vow to perform the pooja with devotion and dedication.

• State your name, gotra (ancestral lineage), and the purpose of the pooja.

• Begin the main pooja by offering a shower of flowers, water, and rice to the deity.

• Offer fruits, coconut, betel leaves, betel nuts, and sweets to the deity as naivedyam (sacred food offering).

• Recite or listen to the Satyanarayana Swamy Katha (a narrative of Lord Satyanarayana's miracles and blessings).

• After the Katha, perform the aarti by circling a lit camphor or ghee lamp in front of the deity.

• Offer your prayers, seek blessings, and express gratitude to Satyanarayana Swamy.

• Once the pooja is complete, distribute the Prasad to all the participants and family members.

Since I have seen a lot of Marathis looking for an answer for the same, let me answer it in Marathi as well. The process is-

घर किंवा मंदिर पूर्णपणे स्वच्छ करा आणि पूजा क्षेत्र फुलं, रांगोळी (रंगीत पावडर), दिवे किंवा इतर गोष्टींनी सजवा.

हळद, कुमकुम (सिंदूर), चंदन पेस्ट, अगरबत्ती, कापूर, ताजी फुले, फळे, नारळ, सुपारी, सुपारी, तांदूळ आणि मिठाई (प्रसाद) या पूजेसाठी आवश्यक असलेल्या सर्व वस्तूंची व्यवस्था करा.

पूजेसाठी सत्यनारायण स्वामींचे चित्र किंवा मूर्ती घ्या.

देवतेजवळ एका ताटात एक लहान वाटी पाणी, एक सुपारी आणि काही फुले ठेवा.

दिवा आणि अगरबत्ती लावून पूजेची सुरुवात करा.

खालील मंत्राचा उच्चार करताना देवतेला फुले, हळद, कुमकुम आणि चंदनाची पेस्ट अर्पण करा: "ओम गम गणपतये नमः, ओम नमो नारायणाय नमः, ओम सत्यनारायणाय नमः।"

एक संकल्प करा, जे भक्ती आणि समर्पणाने पूजा करण्याचे व्रत आहे.

तुमचे नाव, गोत्र (वडिलोपार्जित वंश) आणि पूजेचा उद्देश सांगा.

देवतेला फुले, पाणी आणि तांदूळ अर्पण करून मुख्य पूजेची सुरुवात करा.

नैवेद्य म्हणून देवतेला फळे, नारळ, सुपारी, सुपारी आणि मिठाई अर्पण करा.

सत्यनारायण स्वामी कथा (भगवान सत्यनारायणाच्या चमत्कारांची आणि आशीर्वादांची कथा) पाठ करा किंवा ऐका.

कथेनंतर देवतेसमोर कापूर किंवा तुपाचा दिवा प्रदक्षिणा घालून आरती करावी.

तुमची प्रार्थना करा, आशीर्वाद घ्या आणि सत्यनारायण स्वामींबद्दल कृतज्ञता व्यक्त करा.

पूजा पूर्ण झाल्यावर, सर्व सहभागींना आणि कुटुंबातील सदस्यांना प्रसाद वाटप करा.

This is how I did the satyanarayana swamy pooja at home. I would ask you to have a talk with your close ones and know what else you should add.

After shifting to a new house, I decided to do a Satyanarayan pooja at home. This Pooja is done to worship Lord Satyanarayana, a manifestation of Vishnu. People think that a simple Satyanarayana pooja at home will keep problems at bay and will promote prosperity and happiness. It is because of this, Satyanarayan puja is frequently performed following weddings, housewarmings, and other important events.

Which day is good for Satyanarayan pooja?

There is no particular time or day designated for Satyanarayan Pooja. However, Ekadashi tithi, also known as Poornima tithi, is the ideal day for Satyanarayan Pooja and is highly regarded by devotees. Also, preferably in the evening (outside Rahu Kaalam)

Anyone can do this pooja. There are no restrictions as such. It can be done alone.

So the entire Satyanarayana pooja Mantapa should be placed towards the East. This means that the orientation of God should be in the West direction, while devotees who will perform the pooja should be facing the East direction.

I am sharing the steps that I follow while performing Satyanarayan puja at home by self;

• Place the mango leaves on the Kalash and then place the coconut on the mango leaves.

• Add some rice grains to it, and tie it up with red thread

• You can arrange the Prasad around the place.

• Burn the lamp and the incense. 

• Apply turmeric, sandalwood paste, and vermilion to God.

• Put nine coins, one for each planet into a plate. 

• Then you must pray to God and perform the Hom for which you will need the wooden pieces and you must also add ghee and burn the fire. You must also arrange 108 leaves of Bilva leaves.

• Once you are done with the Hom, you should recite or listen to the five chapters of Satyanarayan Katha.

• After this you will need to distribute the prasad.

• The water in the Kalasham can be used to purify the house symbolically by being consumed as Theertham (holy water) or sprinkled around.

I have also written the procedure in Marathi, to help my Marathi friends with the same.

• कलशावर आंब्याची पाने ठेवा आणि नंतर आंब्याच्या पानांवर नारळ ठेवा.

• त्यात तांदळाचे थोडे दाणे टाका आणि लाल धाग्याने बांधा

• त्या ठिकाणी तुम्ही प्रसादाची व्यवस्था करू शकता.

• दिवा आणि धूप जाळणे.

• हळद, चंदनाची पेस्ट आणि सिंदूर देवाला लावावा.

• प्रत्येक ग्रहासाठी एक नऊ नाणी एका प्लेटमध्ये ठेवा.

• मग तुम्ही देवाला प्रार्थना करून होम करावा ज्यासाठी तुम्हाला लाकडी तुकड्या लागतील आणि तुम्ही तूप घालून अग्नीही जाळला पाहिजे. तुम्ही बिल्वच्या 108 पानांची व्यवस्था देखील केली पाहिजे.

• एकदा तुमचा होम झाल्यावर तुम्ही सत्यनारायण कथेच्या पाच अध्यायांचे पठण किंवा ऐकावे.

• यानंतर तुम्हाला प्रसाद वाटावा लागेल.

• कलशममधील पाणी तीर्थम (पवित्र पाणी) म्हणून वापरून किंवा आसपास शिंपडून प्रतिकात्मकपणे घर शुद्ध करण्यासाठी वापरले जाऊ शकते.

I’d like to conclude my answer here about the process of Satyanarayan pooja at home. I hope this helps:)
