Overview
Narayan Bali for families in Dashashwamedh Ghat
Narayan Bali is a specialised Vedic rite dedicated to Lord Vishnu (Narayan). It is traditionally performed for a departed family member whose final rites could not be carried out in the usual way, for example, after an untimely passing, so that the family can complete their duty with care.
Dashashwamedh Ghat is one of the best-known ghats in Varanasi and is widely associated with the grand evening Ganga Aarti. Its name is traditionally linked to a legend of Lord Brahma performing the Dashashwamedh yagna here.
ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥
Oṁ pitṛbhyaḥ svadhāyibhyaḥ svadhā namaḥ.
