Overview

Narayan Bali for families in Sarnath

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.

Sarnath, a few kilometres north-east of central Varanasi, is revered around the world as the place where the Buddha gave his first sermon after enlightenment. Its stupas, monasteries and museum draw pilgrims and visitors from many countries throughout the year.

ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥

Planning Your Puja in Sarnath

Rituals are arranged at homes and hotels, not at the Buddhist heritage sites.
Allow extra travel time if you plan to reach the ghats in Varanasi for a sunrise ritual.
Newer houses in the area often have terraces or open space suitable for a small havan.
Hotels here may host international guests; confirm the property allows a puja before planning.
Discuss the reason for the rite openly with the Pandit so the right vidhi is chosen.
Plan to stay in Varanasi for the full duration, which may be more than one day.
