Overview
Narayan Bali for families in Rathyatra
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.
Rathyatra is one of the best-known crossings in central Varanasi, linking Sigra, Mahmoorganj and the roads towards the south of the city. Its name comes from the traditional Rath Yatra fair of Lord Jagannath held in the area each year.
