Nag Panchami and its importance:

According to the Hindu calendar, the festival of Nag Panchami is celebrated on the Shukla Panchami date of the month of Shrawan. According to religious beliefs, the snake deity, the ornament of Lord Shiva, is worshiped on this day. Worshiping serpents on this day removes the troubles of life. This time the festival of Nag Panchami is celebrated on Friday, 13th August.

According to normal human nature, we get excited as soon as we see a snake, because our belief has been that a snake bites. Therefore, when we see a snake, we are ready to kill it. This is a very wrong idea. Of all the snake species in the world, only a very small number of snakes are venomous. Most snakes are non-venomous. The malice that awakens in us when we see a snake is the cause of the malice that is created in a snake, so there is a proverb that "a snake does not bite if it does not bite". There is no doubt that snakes need to be worshiped and protected as they play an important role in our agriculture and forest resources.

Science says it is dangerous to feed snakes: According to science, snakes are not mammals, so they should not be fed milk. Reptiles cannot digest milk, and in such cases, many times they die. Milking a snake can infect it and eventually kill it.
