Naga Chaturthi & Naga Panchami 2021
On Naga Chaturthi and Naga Panchami days, it is common to propitiate snakes in anthills to obtain serpentine blessings. Likewise, serpent images in silver, stone, wood, or rice flour are bathed in milk and invoked for blessings and protection. It is believed that your sincere prayers to snake gods during these two power days can help in reducing the intensity of Doshas (afflictions) created from killing snakes in previous births, preventing danger from poisons, chemicals, and allergic substances, overcoming addictions to alcohol and other intoxicants and seeking relief from illusionary fears.
