Nagula Chavithi 2024: Story of the festival

Nagula Chavithi festival has many tales behind it. A legend of Nagula Chavithi tells us about the Samudra Manthan, where devas and asuras churned the ocean of milk to get Amrita. A snake was used as a rope to reach the nectar, which released a harmful poison.

Lord Shiva drank the poison and became known as Neel Kantha. But a few drops of it fall on the ground. So, to protect ourselves from poison’s adverse effects, we worship the snake gods.

After that, Lord Shiva wrapped Vasuki around his neck. The serpent says he is lifeless without Lord Shiva, and they share a true and divine friendship.
