Nag Panchami 2023: Devotees throng ancient Nag Vasuki temple in UP’s Prayagraj

On the occasion of the seventh “Shravan Somvar,” a sizable crowd of devotees flocked to the historic Nag Vasuki temple in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, on Monday to make their prayers to Lord Shiva and Nag Vasuki. This morning, there were lengthy lines of worshippers outside the Nagvasuki Temple in Prayagraj.

People queued up since the early hours to seek the blessing of Lord Shiva and Nag Vasuki at the temple entrance.

Sanatan Dharma considers the snake to be a god on the day of Nag Panchami. On the banks of the Ganges in Prayagraj is the temple dedicated to Nagavasuki, the king of serpents. The priest continued, “A large number of people come here on this day to offer prayers and pray for good fortune for their families.” The snake is seen as being connected to the environment in Sanatan Dharma. The cobra, which kills rats, is thought to play a significant part in protecting the paddy crop. On this day, he said, the serpent god is offered things that have been enhanced by nature. In the meantime, worshippers flocked to the Shesha Avatar Laxman Temple in Ayodhya to honor the “Nag Devta” or Nag deity.
