Nag Panchami

-
Hello everyone,
                         According to Hindu Puranic literature and the Mahabharata, Kashyapa, who was the son of Lord Brahma, married two daughters of Prajapati, Kadru and Vinata. Kadru gave birth to the race of Nagas, while Vinata gave birth to Aruna. Aruna later became the charioteer of Surya, the sun god. Arun also gave birth to Garuda, who later became the carrier of Vishnu. Given the legends and folklore, Nag Panchami is an important festival of the hindu calendar and as part of the festivities, a Naga or idol of a serpent deity made of silver, stone, wood, or a painting of snakes is given a reverential bath with milk and their blessings are sought for the welfare of the family.
                            Snake is said to have many more powers than humans, and the Hindu mythology connects them to Shiva, Vishnu and Subramanya. On this day, women pray for the wellness of their brothers and family and it is widely believed that anything offered to snakes on this day would reach the serpent gods. Some of the most popular divine snake characters in the sacred Hindu scriptures are Ananta, Vasuki, Shesha, Padma, Kambala, Karkotaka, Ashvatara, Dhritarashtra, Shankhapala, Kaliya, Takshaka, and Pingala.

Devotees offer milk to a clay idol or a metal sculpture of a snake. Perform the puja with sincere devotion. In one of the best ways to please Lord Shiva and seek his blessings during the auspicious month of Shravan, people perform Rudrabhishek on Nag Panchami Day.

In India, some regions observe the holy celebration of Nag Panchami on different days. For example, in states like Bengal, Bihar, and several other areas, it is celebrated on the Panchami Tithi in the month of Shravan, Krishna Paksha waning phase of the Moon). The name of the month may differ according to the Amavasyant calendar. This year, it is being celebrated today.
