Narayan Nagbali is a Vedic ritual made up of two pujas, Narayan Bali and Nagbali, each with its own purpose. Narayan Bali is performed for unsettled or unsatisfied souls. Nagbali is performed to ease Naag Dosh in a person's birth chart. It is held in Varanasi with three pujaris. The sankalp is taken in the devotee's name. The Nag Dosh Nivaran Puja comes first: Lord Shiva and the Serpent Lord are invoked with mantras and jaap, and flowers and milk are offered. Next come the Pitru Dosh Nivaran Puja and Pind Daan, with jaap and offerings of rice and water to the devotee's ancestors.
