Home / Pooja Services / Narayan Bali & Tripindi Shraddha in Varanasi
Arranged with all required samagri, at the correct ghat and time as per tradition.
Quick answer: Narayan Bali and Tripindi Shraddha are traditional rituals for ancestors, often chosen when family tradition links difficulties to unfulfilled or untimely deaths. In Varanasi they are arranged with a pandit, samagri and the right ghat and time. The duration and steps depend on tradition and we confirm them beforehand.
Some families perform Narayan Bali and Tripindi Shraddha to honour ancestors, especially where there have been untimely or unritualised deaths. These are longer, more detailed rituals than a standard Pind Daan and need careful planning. We coordinate the pandit, ghat, samagri and timing so that the rites proceed properly.
Pind Daan is the simpler offering of pinda to ancestors. Narayan Bali is a longer ritual traditionally performed in specific circumstances, and Tripindi Shraddha addresses three generations of ancestors. Because duration and rules differ among traditions, the pandit will confirm what is appropriate for your family.
Plan your stay for the required number of days and keep some buffer for weather and ghat availability. In the monsoon the water rises and ghat areas can be closed; the pandit may shift the location. We help with accommodation if needed.
Rituals differ by family tradition, sect and region, so the pandit will confirm the exact steps with you. We confirm the pandit, ghat, samagri and total cost on WhatsApp before you pay anything.
