Narayan Bali is a Hindu ritual performed to offer peace and liberation to the souls of the deceased. It is usually performed in cases where a person has died due to unnatural causes such as accidents, suicide, or murder, or when the person was unable to perform their duties towards their ancestors, such as performing their funeral rites or offering regular shraddha ceremonies.

The Narayan Bali ritual involves the sacrifice of a goat or a buffalo and offering it to Lord Narayan, a form of Lord Vishnu, and to the soul of the deceased person. The ceremony is performed under the guidance of a qualified priest who has knowledge of the Vedic scriptures and can perform the ritual with precision and devotion.

The ritual involves the chanting of mantras and performing specific rituals to invoke Lord Narayan and the ancestors of the deceased person. The animal sacrifice is done to symbolize the offering of life to the ancestors, and the ritual is believed to bring peace and liberation to the soul of the deceased.

It is important to note that Narayan Bali is a complex and elaborate ritual that should be performed only under the guidance of a qualified priest. It is also important to follow all the rules and regulations of the ritual and to perform it with devotion and sincerity to ensure the well-being and peace of the soul of the deceased person.
