Unraveling the Significance: Why We Revere the Nagas

The tradition of Nag Panchami is steeped in ancient lore and profound symbolism. Serpents are intricately linked with several important deities in Hinduism. Lord Shiva adorns Vasuki, the king of snakes, around his neck, signifying control over fear and negativity. Lord Vishnu is depicted resting on the celestial serpent Shesha, representing cosmic order and eternity. Furthermore, the festival also commemorates Lord Krishna’s victorious dance upon the venomous serpent Kaliya, restoring balance to the waters of the Yamuna.

Beyond these mythological connections, the serpent also embodies the powerful Kundalini energy residing within each of us. By worshipping the Nagas, we seek to awaken this inner potential, gain protection from harm, and invite prosperity and well-being into our lives. Observing Nag Panchami is also believed to mitigate the effects of Kaal Sarp Dosh in one’s horoscope.
