Naag Panchmi Puja & Homam

Description

Naag Panchmi is celebrated on the 5th day of the Shukla Paksh of the Shravan month all across India.  On this day, Snakes are worshipped and offered milk. In Hindu religion, the Snakes are held at very high esteem and their prayer in the Shravan Month is considered more auspicious since snakes are very dear to Lord Shiva who puts them around his neck as ornaments. 

It is said that Rishi Kashyap who was son of Lord Brahma has 4 wives and one of them gave birth to Devatas (Gods), another gave birth to Danavas (Demons), another gave birth to Garudas and the fourth one to Nagas (Snakes). This is also one of the reasons that Snakes are worshipped in Hindu Religion and they are known as Naga Devatas. The most important Naga is known as Shesh Naga who have a 1000 heads and he forms a resting bed for Lord Vishnu. Other well known Naga are Anant, Vasuki, Padmanabha, Shankhpal, Takshak and Kaaliya.

Rituals of Naag Panchami :

Snakes are worshipped with great devotion and are offered prayers on Nag Panchami. A day long fast is observed in almost all regions in India. Devotees carry milk and turmeric powder to the temple as offerings for the idol. It is believed that doing so ensures freedom from danger of Snake Bites. If a snake drinks milk, then it is considered to bring good fortune. In Bengal, Manasa (The Queen of Snakes) is worshipped, generally by women. Raw milk and Green Bananas are offered by the devotees. On this day, some snake charmers carry snakes in earthen pots only to release them in various temples where they are worshipped. The festivities for Nag Panchami continue throughout the day, with fairs, music and dance, magic shows and gymnastic feats to entertain people.
