Nag Panchmi- Devoted to Naga Devatas and serpents
Nagas or serpents play a pivotal role in Hindu cosmology. The main nagas worshipped on Nag Panchami are Amanda, Vasuki, Shesha, Padma, Kambala, Ashvatara, Dhritarashtra, Shankhapala, Kaliya, Takshaka, and Pingala. Nag Panchami is a beautiful day to adore and cherish the powers of Nag devatas.
Significance of Nag Panchami
Nagas discover an important place in the Vedic realm. They find extensive importance in great epics like Mahabharata, Ramayana, Skanda Purana, and Narada Purana. Snakes are revered like deities in Hinduism. Garuda Purana elaborates that revering snakes brings many prosperous boons.
Nagas are also closely connected with the supreme Lord Shiva and Lord Krishna. Lord Shiva adorns serpents in his neck, and those snakes have the supreme power to ward off evil energies. The snakes on the neck of Lord Shiva represent consciousness and power. The snake around Shiva's neck keeps him agile and bestows courage to fight all the odds and adversities.
