Nagula Chavithi

When the sun enters 'Vruschika raasi', we celebrate Nagula Chavithi. This is celebrated exclusively by ladies. We take head bath before sun rise and wear new cloths. We take cow's milk, eggs and other offerings to the snake pits and take blessings from the 'Adiseshu' (divine snake). Specially maidens who are in search of a good husband, women who are looking forward to children should worship the divine snake for their wishes to come true. While children enjoy themself by lighting up the remainder of the crackers from diwali.

This year Nagula Chavithi came on Nov 2.
