Gokarna Moksha Narayana Bali Pooja is performed in a yagashala. The puja lasts for 3 hours. Gokarna is a Mukti Kshetra, and performing this ritual will yield effective results. During this ritual, we will invoke Lord Vishnu to seek liberation for the departed soul. This puja should be performed by an elder from the family. One should perform this puja if there is any unnatural death in the family. An unnatural death shouldn’t be ignored, as it might lead to a chain of deaths in the family.
