Guest guest Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Hi all Nag Panchami is on 10th august 2005. Hindus deify snakes and regard them with veneration. This may be due to their association with the Gods. Shesha or Ananta, the thousand hooded king of serpents forms the couch for Lord Vishnu. The King of serpents Vasuki adorns the neck of Lord Shiva forming a crest over the Lord. This day is dedicated to snakes and they are worshipped with milk and fruits. Snake worship is quite common specially in South India where there are shrines in many houses where the householder feed the serpents. People are advised to give milk,sweets,flowers in dana to snakes.Offerings are made to snake images. Snakes are worshiped and offered milk.Many hindu families do pooja at home. many thanks angel goel =================== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
