The Nagapañcami occupies an important place in the traditions brought forth by the sanatana Aryabharatiya Maharshis, This is even considered by some as one of the supreme parvas, in place of Akshaya t?tiya. This parva is observed in all parts of this country by people belonging to all sects, creeds and philosophical systems. Though there are differences in the modalities of observance, all of them observe this with great devotion, faith and religious fervor.
We see that this vrata is being observed by all, except by those who have a vow not to observe kamya vratas and those who are devoted to only one deity like Siva, Vish?u etc. Even such Ekadevopasakas (devoted to a single god) sometimes observe this as a kamyavrata. People observe this vrata with the desires such as - "Let not serpents bite us, Let the peril from poison be averted. Let us have progeny.
Let us be bestowed with wealth. Let us be free from skin diseases. Let us attain heaven", Etc.,. This vrata is also observed with the objective of awakening Kun?alini i.e. Pra?asakti for the early phalasiddhi (results) in yogabhyasa. As the name of the vrata itself clearly states, the deity that is specially worshipped on this day is Nagadevata.
