According to the Hindu religion, snakes are considered equal to deities. Because their mother is the same. You may hear the story of big serpents like Takshak in Mahabharata, an incarnation of Seshnag Lakshmana in the Ramayana or Basuki. We worship snakes because they are the real companion of our gods like Vishnu or Shiva. Nag Panchami has special religious significance in India. Devotees worship these great serpents by following Puja-Vrat-Vidhi with great devotion to Nag Panchami. Normally, Nag Panchami falls in the month of Sawan.
The auspicious Hindu festival of Nag Panchami is around the corner, and devotees are gearing up to celebrate the festival. Shukla Paksha Panchami or the fifth day of the Sawan month is marked as Nag Panchami.

Devotees worship great serpents on Nag Panchmi. You cannot separate deities and serpents in Hindu mythology. You will hear various stories and discussions in Puranas and Scriptures about great and powerful serpents like Takshak, Karkata, Padma, Anant, Vasuki, etc. A few of them are so powerful that can lift the whole earth on their hoods. Devotees themselves make an idol of snakes and install them at any clean place to worship. Devotees bestow milk, rice, turmeric, sweets, and flowers to please the deities of Nag. You should hear or recite the story of Nag Panchmi on the special occasion of Nag Panchmi. If you follow all Puja-Vrat carefully you will get an immense blessing. You should not forget charity to those who take care of snakes. In the Hindu religion, we worship everything living or non-living from ancient times. It shows our receptivity and fondness towards God and his beautiful creation. If you are observing a fast you should stop eating one day before in the evening time from Nag Panchami. You may do the Parana in the evening time at Nag Panchami.
According to Hindu Mythology, the sage Kashyap was the husband of four wives. In ancient times, polygamy was in practice. Deities, Garuda, Demons, and Snakes were born from the different-different mothers. The sage Kashyap was their father. You must know, that Kashyap was the son of Brahma who is the creator of this universe. Vasuki and Takshak relate to the equivalent of deities. They possess immense power and are considered kings of all serpents. Eight great serpents are named Karkotak, Padma, Mahapadma, Takshak, Anant, Vasuki, Kulik, and Shankhpal. Today’s caste system is based upon the classification of these great serpents. They are like Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras.
In the ancient time of Mahabharata, the grandson of Arjuna organized a Nag Yagya to kill all the snakes. The name of the grandson was Janmajeya. His father Parikshit was bitten by Takshak. Janmajeya became extremely furious and obliged to have revenge on snakes due to his father’s demise. All the snakes were in terror of their death. But, the sage Aastik reconciled the King Janmajeya. And, snakes were protected from mass extinction. Since that day, Nag Panchmi has been celebrated. If you worship on Nag Panchami snakes will never bite you. You won’t be the victim of premature death due to a snake bite.
Nag and snakes have equally worshiped as deities from ancient times. It is celebrated in each part of the nation. The date may be different but Nag Panchmi is celebrated everywhere. Our Puranas and scriptures talk about great serpents who live in the company of the Vishnu and Shiva. Devotees also try to please God Shiva and Narayana by serving their favorite snakes. If you do the Vrat-Puja of Nag Panchami snakes will never attack you and your family. Devotees usually feed a mixture of milk and sweets and worship on the celebration of Nag Panchami.
