Narayan Nagbali Puja In Ujjain

About this puja

Narayan Nagbali Puja in Ujjain for ancestral peace, with Vishnu worship, Navnag Puja, 52 Pind Daan and Geeta Paath.

Narayan Nagbali is a two-part ritual made up of Narayan Bali and Nag Bali, each performed for its own purpose. It is dedicated to Lord Vishnu (Narayan) and the serpent deities (Naga). Tradition holds that it addresses ancestral grievances and appeases the Nag devatas, who are thought to influence many parts of life. Many devotees come to Ujjain for rites of ancestral peace. Narayan Bali is regarded as an important way to address Pitru-related matters and clear obstacles. Devotees hold that, with pandits, it brings peace to departed souls and supports happiness, stability and progress. The sankalp is taken in the devotees' names. The panditji first has you worship Lord Vishnu, then the Navnag Puja, and then 52 Pind Daan. The Geeta Paath is recited, and aarti closes the puja.
