Why Srirangapatna
Srirangapatna is an island town on the Kaveri in Mandya district, Karnataka, home to the Sri Ranganathaswamy temple — Adi Ranga, the first of the five Pancharanga kshetras on the Kaveri. It is one of South India’s best-known places for ancestral rites.
Families perform tarpan, pinda pradana, shraddha and Narayana Bali on the Kaveri banks here — at the Sangama, where the two arms of the Kaveri rejoin and the Lokapavani flows in (known locally as the Triveni Sangama), at the Paschima Vahini ghat and at Gosai Ghat. On Mahalaya Amavasya thousands of people offer tarpan here.
Your puja is performed by our pandit on these banks, as the vidhi and the day require.
About this puja
Moksha Narayana Bali at Srirangapatna is a two-day rite for a soul whose death was untimely or unnatural. Our pandit performs it privately for your family. Bhagwan Narayana is invoked, the rites left incomplete are performed symbolically, and shraddha, homa and pinda pradana in the Kaveri follow.
What is Moksha Narayana Bali (2 Days)?
Narayana Bali, also written Narayan Bali, is performed for a soul whose death was untimely or unnatural, as described in the Garuda Purana. Tradition also turns to it when last rites could not be completed properly. Over two days here, the rite begins with a sankalp with your name, gotra and the name of the departed. Kalasha aradhana, worship at sacred water pots, invokes Brahma, Vishnu, Rudra and Yama. Narayana Bali shraddha and homa follow, and pinda pradana is made in the Kaveri.
Why devotees book it
- Praying for peace and moksha for a family member who died an untimely or unnatural death
- Completing rites that could not be done properly at the time of death
- Offered by some families as a remedy for pitru dosh, in keeping with tradition
- Seeking peace for the family, free from the weight of unfinished rites
