The video features that the worshipping and the presentation is rather according to the southern culture. If you observe closely, English is a prominent language down south and hence, it is speculated that this video may be of southern origin.
A Twitter user named Rumani shared the video and captioned it, "Now Bhatji has also upgraded, listen to Satyanarayan's story in English". So far, more than 8 thousand Twitter users have watched this video.
Often the major problem with rituals is that people do not understand the puja and its mantras, so obviously the original purpose of the puja remains inadequate due to this. However, the above video shows how people can be connected while bypassing the language barrier. Interestingly the Guruji can be seen explaining the story of Satyanarayana to the couple sitting in the puja. Even when told in English, the original meaning of the story does not seem to have changed anywhere, that is why many people have praised it.
However, many have criticized the video saying that our culture has tampered but netizens have shown their appreciation for this video pointing out the importance to understand the meaning of Puja than the language.
