Narayan Bali, Tripindi Shradh, and Tila Homa
To Seek Relief from Ancestral Curses and Bring Peace to Departed Souls
Participate in the Mahalaya Pitru Paksh Narayan Bali Special Narayan Bali, Tripindi Shradh, and Tila Homa to Seek Relief from Ancestral Curses and Bring Peace to Departed Souls
In Sanatan Dharma, the fortnight of Pitru Paksha is the most sacred period to honour our forefathers. The last day, Mahalaya Amavasya, also called Sarvapitri Amavasya or Pitru Moksha Amavasya, is considered the most powerful. Ancestors whose Pitru Karyas were missed, or whose Tithi is unknown, can be offered peace on this day. On this day, the doors of Pitru Loka are said to close, making it a final chance to honour your Ancestors.
Narayan Bali is performed to bring peace to the soul of a person who died a sudden, unnatural, or violent death. It is believed that such souls can become restless and cause problems for the family. The primary goal is to calm the troubled soul, help it attain moksha, and liberate the family from any negative effects. In this ritual, small, symbolic idols are created out of wheat flour and black sesame seeds. These idols represent the deceased person and any other troubled spirits that need to be calmed. The priests then chant powerful mantras dedicated to Lord Narayan and Lord Yama. Throughout the ceremony, offerings like rice, flowers, and water are made. The ritual ends with the idols being released into a flowing river or the sea. This act symbolizes letting go of the restless spirit, helping it find peace and move on to its next journey in the earthly world.
This year, Sri Mandir invites you to participate in Narayan Bali, Tripindi Shradh, and Tila Homa at the revered Gokarna Tirth Kshetra, also known as Dakshin Kashi, where Lord Shiva is believed to reside eternally. According to scriptures like the Garuda Purana, souls who faced untimely death or were denied proper post-death rites may remain restless. Their unresolved energies can manifest in the lives of descendants as Pitru Dosh, causing issues like relationship turmoil, delayed marriage or childbirth, recurring health concerns, and financial instability.
To address this:
Narayan Bali is performed to liberate such souls and grant them peace.
Tripindi Shradh helps offer closure for ancestors whose rituals were missed or forgotten.
Tila Homa, the sacred offering of sesame seeds into the fire, is believed to nourish and uplift ancestral energies.
What amplifies the power of these rites is their location - Gokarna, a sacred Shiva kshetra where every offering and mantra is believed to carry enhanced potency. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to bring peace to your lineage and progress to your life through Sri Mandir’s guided ceremonies at Gokarna Tirth Kshetra.

According to ancient scriptures and folklore, King Ravana once attempted to carry the Atmalinga from Mount Kailash, which eventually became rooted in Gokarna. Since then, this sacred land has been associated with forgiveness, release, and moksha. The region’s sacred waters - Kotiteertha, where devotees perform Shradh, Tarpan, and Tripindi Shradh, and the nearby Arabian Sea enhance the spiritual potency of these rituals.
Rituals performed in Gokarna, especially for Pitru Shanti and Pitru Dosh Nivaran, are believed to bring peace to departed souls and blessings for the living. Every year, countless devotees travel here to conduct these rites with faith and devotion, ensuring that their Pitrus attain peace and ancestral doshas are resolved.
