Why devotees choose this ritual
Narayan Nagbali combines two rites: Narayan Bali for ancestors who died untimely deaths, and Nagbali, for atonement if a serpent was harmed. Trimbakeshwar is traditionally regarded as the place where this combined rite is performed. Families undertake it for peace for their ancestors, for relief from pitru and sarpa dosha, and often when praying for children.
When it is performed
It is performed on specific auspicious dates determined by the local purohits, and the rite usually takes three days.
What to expect
Over three days, the purohits guide the family through a holy dip at Kushavarta, the Narayan Bali rites, the Nagbali rites with a symbolic serpent, havan and concluding prayers at the temple. The requirements, including attire and staying in Trimbak, are explained in advance.

Questions families ask
Can I take part if I cannot travel?
Remote participation, including sankalpa in your family's names, live viewing and prasad delivery, depends on the venue and the ritual. It is confirmed for your specific booking.
What is included in the price?
You receive a written plan that lists the ritual, priest dakshina, materials, donations, travel and stay where relevant, so the final price is clear before you confirm.
