Nag Panchami 5 Nag Temples Dugdh Abhishek
The story behind Nag Panchami goes back to King Janamejaya, whose father had been killed by a snake bite from Takshak, king of the Nagas. In his anger, Janamejaya started the Sarpa Satra Yagya - a fire ritual meant to wipe out every snake in existence, until Sage Astika stepped in and convinced him to stop, saving the entire serpent race. That's the reason Nag Panchami is observed every year - not just as respect for snakes, but as a reminder of the day they were saved from being wiped out entirely.
Why are these 5 Nag Temples Significant?
Shri Nag Vasuki Temple, Prayagraj
This is where Vasuki, king of the serpents, rested after being used as the churning rope during Samudra Manthan.
Shri Takshakeshwar Nath Temple, Prayagraj
Said to be around 20 lakh years old, this temple belongs to Takshak Nag himself - the same king from the Janamejaya story.
Nageshwar Nath Temple, Ayodhya
Built by Kush, Ram's son, for a Nag Kanya whose devotion to Shiv was strong enough to earn her a temple.
Karkotaka Nag Temple, Prayagraj
The Skanda Purana mentions this temple as a place where people come to get over their fear of poison and snakebites.
Nag Kund, Kashi
A Shivling that stays submerged in water all year and only comes into view once, on Nag Panchami.
