STORY ABOUT NAG PUNCHAMI
According to Great Epic Mahabharata *Parikshit* was the son of *Abhimanyu* and *Uttara*. He was also the grandson of *Arjuna* .
Parikshit was *cursed* by *Rishi Shamika’s son Sringin,* to die of Snakebite in seven days, for disrespecting Rishi Shamika. Parikshit, died after *Takshaka king of snakes bit him* .
Now, on hearing his father’s death by Takshaka, *Parikshit’s son Janamejaya II* vowed to kill Takshaka within a week. He starts the *Sarpamedha yagna* , which forced each and every snake of the entire universe to fall in the havan kund. However one snake got stuck around Surya’s chariot and because of the force of yagna the chariot was also getting pulled inside the hawankund. This could have ended up taking the Surya’s chariot in the sacrificial altar and ending the regime of Sun from the universe. This resulted in plea from all the gods to stop the sacrifice. When Takshaka arrived then this yagna was stopped from doing so by Astika Muni, as a result of which Takshaka lived. That day was Shukla Paksha Panchami in the *month of Shravan* and is since celebrated as the festival of *Naga Panchami.*
