Why we celebrate Nag Pancham
History behind the celebration of Nag Panchami:
According to mythology, In historical time,a deadly snake Kalia had been poisoning the river Yamuna and it had become difficult for the residents of Braj to drink any water. Krishna, as a child Avatar of Lord Vishnu, one day on the pretext of a ball falling down in the river had a vigorous clash with Kalia and eventually defeated him. Kalia took away all the poison from the river and Krishna in return blessed him that, on this day of Panchami who so ever will offer milk and prayers to the snakes, will get purged of any hardships in times to come. Thus from then onwards the day was celebrated as Nag panchami day.
