On these day many people give milk to the snake but its not good for the snake but though the people keeps on believing these old and bad myth
bhuyali saroj
Some snakes especially the Cobras living within the temple and nearby forests get used to drinking milk and I have seen them come to the small canal into which the milk and tender coconut water flows and drink from there.The place is wired so that they are unable to come inside. I guess they too get used to the diet because according to one priest one of the snakes a huge King Cobra which dwells there is at least 20 years old whereas most of them die by the time they are 17-18 years old, and the King Cobra has been coming every year to drink the milk offered ..
Pay no mind to those who talk behind your back, it simply means that you are two steps ahead !!!
Offering milk to the snake and worshiping is a tradition. Please elaborate why it's not good to offer milk to the snakes.
Naga Panchami is well known and celebrated in entire country. But the totle is about Nagara Panchami. I felt this this is some new festival not so far known. But it appears tat this is a spelling mistake. I'm editing this.

I am sorry you thought so, but it was definitely not a spelling mistake since we call it Nagara Panchami in the south and my state , I was wondering how the change in the title took place/...

Nagara Panchami is the name popular in many states in India. In the thread it was clearly mentioned that in Karnatak the snake worshiping is known as Nagara Panchami. Hence it was not a mistake.

Actually this is known as Naga Panchami in North India. From description of the festival, I noticed that this is Naga Panchami and 'Nagara Panchami' could be misspelling. As you say, this is not spelling mistake, I'm again editing. .

Mannarasala Temple in Kerala is famous for snake worship. It is heard that there are about 30000 images of snakes in that premise.
Naga worship or worshiping the snakes is a religious practice prevalent in every part of India with some name or other. It is a part of Hindu religion.
We worship most of the animals or reptiles who can harm us. But I wonder if any where the most faithful animal to man the dog is worshiped. On the contrary calling someone a kutta is an insult.
