Various mythological books like Mahabharata, Skanda Purana, Narada Purana, and Ramayana have narrated multiple stories associated with snakes. Garuda Purana states that worshipping snakes on the auspicious day of Nag Panchami brings good fate and prosperity to the devotees. Apart from Lord Shiva, Lord Krishna also has several tales associated with snakes. The Hindu mythology narrates that once Kansa had sent a snake named Kaliya to kill Lord Krishna. Not only Krishna defeated the snake but also while sitting on his head played the flute.
Though Nag Panchami is celebrated across the country, festivities can be majorly seen in the state of Maharashtra. The Battis Shirala Village near Mumbai is very famous for its Naga Panchami celebrations. It is also believed that people who are suffering from the Kaal Sarp Dosh, if they worship Nag Devta on the day of Nag Panchami they are likely to get free from the negative effects of it.
