Gokarna stands out as a sacred destination for Nagabali Pooja due to its deep spiritual energy and historical importance. The town's Mahabaleshwar Temple, where Lord Shiva's Atma-Linga resides, is believed to be a powerful site for resolving curses and doshas caused by harming serpents or disrupting their sacred habitats.
Gokarna holds unparalleled significance for performing PitruDosha Nivarana Pooja, as it is considered a divine gateway to spiritual liberation. The presence of the Mahabaleshwar Temple and its connection to Lord Shiva’s Atma-Linga makes Gokarna one of the most auspicious locations for ancestral rituals. Scriptures such as the Skanda Purana highlight that rituals conducted in Gokarna are particularly effective in addressing ancestral karmas, resolving PitruDosha, and bringing peace to departed souls. Performing this Pooja here not only alleviates ancestral burdens but also bestows the devotee's family with blessings of prosperity, health, and harmony, making Gokarna a spiritual epicenter for ancestral worship.
The ritual includes offering pindas (sacred food offerings) to ancestors, performing Shraddha (ancestral rites), and invoking their blessings through specific Vedic chants.
