Pandit for Katha and Puja in Jaunpur
Jaunpur is about 60 km from Sultanpur — near enough that a puja or a day's anushthan is conducted and returned from the same day, and a multi-day Katha needs only the dates blocked.
Devi Bhagwat is asked for here more often than the proportion elsewhere would suggest, and it is not the same arrangement as a Bhagwat Saptah — the pace, the aarti and the closing differ, and where a family wants it in Navratri the dates are decided by the panchang rather than by convenience. Griha pravesh and navgraha shanti make up most of the rest.
Travel is by road and is arranged from this end. For a multi-day Katha the dates are blocked first and the samagri list is sent well before, so that whatever is easier to obtain locally can be gathered in Jaunpur itself.
