Naag Chaturdashi

Naag Chaturdashi is a Hindu festival dedicated to serpent deities, particularly Lord Nagaraja. It typically falls in September or October and is observed with prayers, rituals, and offerings to seek protection from snake bites and to honor serpents believed to bring prosperity and harmony. Devotees often visit temples, perform special pujas, and consider the day auspicious for resolving issues related to snakes or to eliminate ancestral karmas associated with serpents. The festival underscores respect for nature's symbols and emphasizes reverence for life, health, and well-being through spiritual devotion.
