1) Nag Panchami in India
Indian Naga Panchami Festival (Snake Festival)
History of Nag Panchami
There are many reasons why snakes have come to be worshiped on this day but the main reason is because the Hindu god Krishna is believed to have saved the lives of people who were harassed by the serpent deity – or Naga – Kaliya. It is believed that when Krishna was a small child he was playing with his ball outside. As he was tossing it around, he accidentally threw it too hard and it landed in some tree branches that overhung the side of a river. Krishna climbed the tree but accidentally fell into the river where he was immediately attacked by Kaliya. Try as he might, Kaliya couldn’t kill Krishna and he soon realized that he was a god. Kaliya then begged him to spare his life and told him that if he did, then he would not bother human beings anymore. And that is why Nag Panchmi is now celebrated in India, Nepal and other areas where Hindus live, work and worship.
The origin of the snake festival: Legend has it that the Indian black god played with the ball outside when he was a child, kicked the ball to the branch of the tree and hung it, the tree was just hanging on the river, the black god accidentally fell into the river when he went up to get the ball, the snake named Cria immediately attacked the black god, but it could not defeat the black god with all its strength, realized that this child was a god, so it asked the black god to spare it from dying, and it would no longer disturb mankind in the future. Later, Hindus in India, Nepal and other surrounding areas began to celebrate the Snake Festival.
