Preparation and Timing
- Auspicious Dates: Ideally performed during Pitru Paksha on Amavasya or specific tithis like Pitruda ekadashi
- Location: Traditionally performed at holy sites like Trimbakeshwar.
- Duration: It is usually a three-day ritual (especially when combined with nagbali), though some traditions condense it into one day.
Step-by-Step Procedure
- Sankalp (Vow)
You need to start by taking a holy bath in a river (like Godavari or Ganga). Then take a sankalp declaring your intent to perform the ritual for the peace and liberation of the departed ancestor.
- Kalash Sthapna and Invocation
Five Kalash are establishe, representing five deities: Brahma, Vishnu, Rudra, Yama and Savitra. The priest chants Vedic mantras to invoke these deities to witness and bless the ceremony.
- Creation of the Wheat effigy
The physical body of the decease is long gone. So, a symbolic body is create using wheat flour. This effigy represents the restless soul. It is treated with the same respect as a physical body during funeral rites.
- Dash Pinda Pradhan (Offering 10 Pindas)
This is the core of the first day. Ten rice or wheat balls (Pindas) are offered to the symbolic body. These Pindas are meant to provide a “spiritual body” to the soul, satisfying its hunger and unfulfilled desires.
- Symbolic Funeral (Antyeshti)
A symbolic cremation is performe for the wheat effigy. This acts as a “second funeral” to ensure that any rites missed or improperly done at the time of death are now complete, allowing the soul to finally detach from the material world.
- Shradh and Tarpan (Day 2)
On the second day, Sapindikarana Shradhh is performe. Water mixed with black sesame seeds, honey and flowers (tarpan) is offered to the ancestors of the last three generations to ensure they are satisfied.
- Brahmin bhojaan and Daan (Day 3)
The ritual concludes with:
- Brahmin bhojan: feeding the priests and the needy
- Dasha daan: giving ten types of donations to complete the karmic cycle.

Narayan Bali in Garuda Purana
Narayan Bali in the Garuda Purana is described as the ultimate “rescue” ritual.
1. Purpose: The Remedy for “Durmarana”
The text defines Durmana as “untimely or unnatural death”. According to the Garuda Purana, souls who die by accident, suicide, lightning, animal attacks or sudden illness do not immediately receive a new body. They become pretas( restless spirits) and may cause “pitra dosh” for their descendants.
- The text’s solution: Normal shradh rites are ineffective for such souls. The Garuda Purana explicitly mandates Narayan Bali to break this state of limbo.
2. The Symbolic Body (Putatarpana)
Because the physical body of someone who died unnaturally may be lost or “tainted”, the Purana instructs the creation of an effigy:
- An idol or body is made of Darbha grass or wheat flour
- The priest invoked the soul into this symbol
- By performing the funeral rites on this “symbolic body”, the soul is released from its earthly attachments.
3. Invocation of Lord Vishnu
The Purana states that by offering a Baki to Vishnu, the merit is transferred to the deceased. Vishnu’s grace cleansed the sins that led to the unnatural death.
