For all these people there is no rite of cremation, no tarpana, no sraddha and no asaucham.
                                                                                 Garuda Purana 40:4-12.

For a brahmin Narayana Bali should be performed within six months; for a kshatriya within three months; for a vaishya within a month and a half, and for a sudra immediately.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Garuda Purana 40:13.

The Narayana Bali should be performed through brahmins in the Ganga, Yamuna, Naimasa and Puskara in a tank full of water, in an eddy of pure water, in a cow shed, in a house or in a temple in front of Lord Krsna's image.
                                                                                Garuda Purana 40:14-15.

Five brahmins should be invited and arghya given to them. They should be learned, of good conduct, most excellent in their family, free from phyisical decrepitude and noble. Never should they be of the contemptable type.
                                                                                Garuda Purana 40:31.

What Is Narayan Nagbali ? 
Narayan Nagbali consists of two different rituals. Narayan bali is done to get rid of ancestral curse (Pitru Sharap) or someone  passes away in young age in family for peace of his/her soul which is a must in shastras

It is also done to get rid of sin performed by killing snake , specially Cobra which is worshipped in India.It can be performed only at Panchvati Trimbakeshwar.
Narayan Bali ritual is done to fulfill the unsatisfied desires of the ancestral souls which are stuck in the world and trouble their progeny. Narayan Bali consists of the same ritual as hindu funeral. An artificial body mostly made of wheat flour is used. Mantras are used to invoke such souls who are having certain wishes remaining attached. The ritual makes them possess the body and the funeral frees them to other world.

Nagbali ritual is done to get rid of sin of killing nag (Cobra). In this ritual also the funeral is performed on the body of snake made with wheat dough. Narayan Nagbali is one of the main rituals performed at Trimbakeshwar. Ancient scriptures like Dharma Sindhu, which describes various religious rites, mentions that this particular ritual should be done only at Trimbakeshwar. The references are found even in Skandh Puran and Padma Puran about this age-old tradition. 
Importance & Procedures Of The Pooja ?  For Problems like Bhoot Pishach Badha(Evil sprits spells), unsuccessful in Business, Waste of Money, Family health Problems, Argument with others, Educational hindrances, Marriage Problems, Accidental Death, Unnecessary expenses, Health problems in many family members, All kind of Curse (shrap). Narayan Nagbali is performed to get respite from various problems.
 

It gives good health, success in business and career and fulfils wishes. It is a three-day ritual on a particular day and time (muhurta). On the first day, the devotees should take a holy bath in Kushavarta and resolve to give dashdaan (give ten things in charity). After offering prayers at the Trimbakeshwar temple, they go to the dharmashala at the confluence of rivers Godavari and Ahilya for performing Narayan Nagbali.
Narayan-Nagbalipuja is performed at Trimbakeshwar only. This puja is performed in three days. This puja needs a special dates to perform it. Some days are not suitable to perform this puja. This puja is performed for so many reasons. If one has suffering from illness, going through bad times, someone in family has killed Nag(cobra). Or one is having a problem to have a kids or just you have everything and you want to perform some religious puja to have everything. First of all, the devotees pray for getting absolved of any curse inflicted by someone whom they or their forefathers in this or earlier births might have cheated or deprived in some way. They also pray for peace of their forefathers? departed souls and for continuity of their family through good progeny. After Kalash Sthapana, the Panchdevata, Brahma, Vishnu, Rudra, Yama are worshipped. Thereafter Parnashar ritual takes place wherein such dissatisfied souls are evoked and their last rites are performed respectfully to free them from the occult existence after their deaths. Since the names of the person/s who are haunting the devotee are not known, they are named Narayan. The devotees mourn Narayan?s ?death? for a day (sutak) and bathe in Kushavarta.
On the second day, the ashes of Narayan - symbolically consigned to flames - are immersed and after a bath, the one-day mourning gets over. Then the devotee offers prayers at the Trimbakeshwar temple and goes again to the dharmashala near river confluence. Here Narayan?s shraddha ceremony takes place to satisfy his dissatisfied soul. The devotee resolves to perform Narayan Nagbali again after the fulfilment of his wishes, though it is not mandatory. After seeking blessings of Brahmans, this ritual ends here.
 

To get absolved of sin of snake killed by them or their ancestors, intentionally or unintentionally in this or previous births, and peace for souls early death in family Nagbali ritual is performed to cleanse body and mind through repentance. This snake is also given respectful last rites by symbolically burning an idol made of wheat or rice flour. After performing this snake?s shraddha, the devotees take bath in Kushavartha. On the third day, the ashes of this snake are immersed followed by a holy dip in Kushavarta. After performing Ganesh Pujan and Punyahvachan, a gold snake is worshipped and given to the Upadhyay (priest). Then as resolved at the beginning of rituals, give dashdaan as per one?s capacity.
After praying at Trimbakeshwar, devotees perform tirtha shraddha of their late parents and give Brahman bhojan. Also perform lakhurudra or maharudra at the Trimbakeshwar. Narayan bali details click here
