Narayan Nagbali Puja – Cost, Dates and Benefits

June 29, 2022, Sasidhar Darla Filed Under: Pujas

Narayan Nagbali is a 3-day Hindu ritual that is performed at Trimbakeshwar Jyotirlinga near Nasik. The Narayan Bali is performed to fulfil the unsatisfied desires of dead ancestral souls and the Nag Bali is performed to get rid of the curse caused by killing a cobra.

Narayan Nagbali follows the same ritual as the Hindu funeral.

During this pooja, the priest uses an artificial body of wheat flour and chants mantras. These mantras will invoke the bad omen or souls that have certain unfulfilled wishes.

This ritual helps them to possess the artificial body of wheat flour. Also, the funeral releases the family from any sin and sends the soul to another world peacefully. It helps the soul to achieve the highest state of salvation from the cycle of human birth as well as death. This ritual will relieve the soul of a dead person who has faced an abnormal death.

Triveni Sangam Allahabad

May 4, 2019, Sasidhar Darla 2 Comments Filed Under: Uttar Pradesh Temples Tagged With: Other Temples

The word “Sangam” originates from Sanskrit language which means the confluence of three rivers. These three rivers are Ganga, Yamuna and the mystical Saraswati. However, the river Saraswati is invisible. According to popular beliefs, it flows underground and joins the two rivers. This Sangam is called Triveni Sangam.

This confluence is at Prayaga which is Allahabad‘s ancient name. The legendary Kumbha mela is held there every 12 years. The Sangam is a sacred place for Hindus. A bath here washes away one’s sins. It also frees one from the cycle of rebirth to finally attain ‘Moksha’.

The sacred holy site of sangam is located at about 7 km from Civil Township at Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh.

History of the Kumbha Mela

The word Kumbha means the immortal Pot of Nectar, which the Demigods (Devtas) and Demons (Asuras) fought over. Our ancient scriptures like the puranas also mention how the demigods and demons together made the nectar of immortality and decided to share it equally.

Thereafter, to churn the portion of the milky ocean they came at the sea shore. Then they used Mandara Mountain as the churning rod.  But a deadly poison was produced at first. Lord Shiva drank the poison but it did not harm him. However, a few drops were spilled and licked by serpents and reptiles.

After 1000 years of churning, Dhanwantari appeared with the Kumbh of immortal nectar in his hands. The demigods were fearful of the demons’ ill intent. So, they forcibly seized the pot and entrusted its safety to the four Gods – Brahaspati, Surya, Shani, and Chandra.

Significance of Triveni Sangam

  • Mrs. Indira Gandhi used to come here for a holy dip.
  • Pilgrims take bathe on various platforms erected at the confluence. Also, migratory birds give a beautiful look to the river during the Kumbh Mela. Thousands of devotees from all around the world gather here during this time.
  • According to beliefs, it is the place where drops of the nectar fell from the pitcher, from the hands of the Gods.
  • The Rig Veda says, “Those who bath at the place where the two rivers, white and dark, flow together, rise up to heaven”.
  • The classical Sanskrit poet Kalidasa praised the Sangam. He described the white waters of the Ganga with the blue waters of the Yamuna as if they were a string of pearls and sapphires combined, or a garland of white and blue lotuses intertwined.

Festivals at Triveni Sangam

  • One of the most revered festivals – the Kumbha Festival is held at Prayag on the lunar conjunction day.
  • During the period of Kumbha Mela spiritual bathing takes place. It is because devotees believe that a thousand times stronger confluence occurs. Apart from self-purification purposes, thousands of people also come to the shores during Kumbha Mela to offer pind for their deceased parents.
