One such tale is the origin of serpent worship in Hindu mythology. Rumour has it that this tale includes the aspects of protection and wisdom. So, without wasting any minute, let us take you back to the time of the origin of Ophiolatry, aka Serpent worship. Ever heard of the legendary sage Lord Parshuram? Yes, the very sage who is known for tales of anger and short temper! He is the side character of this story. As per the mythological beliefs, once Lord Parshuram threw his axe into the sea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Though the reason he did that is still not clear, his deed created magic. Miraculously, wherever the axe landed, the water of the sea made space and revealed land. But here comes the plot twist that makes the entry of the main character of the story: King of Serpents, Nagaraja. The land that was revealed was either inhabitable or infertile. So, Lord Parshuram turned to Lord Shiva for some help. It was Lord Shiva who suggested that only the king of serpents, aka only Nagaraja, can do something. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">As per the instructions, Lord Parshuram worshipped Nagaraja to seek a solution to the problem. Seeing his true devotion, Nagaraja Anantha got happy and announced that all his serpents would make the land fertile by spitting venom. And since Hindus, especially those living in Kerala, have been worshipping Nagaraja as the protector of their land.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Also Read: <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instaastro.com\/blog\/6-different-and-beautiful-architecture-of-temples-in-india\/\">6 Different And Beautiful Architecture Of Temples In India<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: verdana, geneva;\"><b>History of Mannarasala Sree Nagaraja Temple\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: verdana, geneva;\">Let us jump to the next biggest snake temple in India, which is Mannarasala, located in Harppad, Alappuzha, Kerala. Do you know what fact makes this temple outshine the others? \u2018Sarppakavus\u2019 forest of snakes is the home of several rare medicinal plants and reptiles. Talking about the Mannarasala temple history, the temple is located in the same place where Lord Parshuram spent years seeking the blessings of Nagaraja Anantha. The area where he meditated was home to Mandra trees (Ethyrina). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: verdana, geneva;\">This is why when Lord Nagaraja promised Lord Parshuram that he would stay there, this place was called \u2018Mandarasala\u2019 that later became Mannarasala Sree Nagaraja temple. This was the Mannarasala temple history we talked about. But let us tell you another interesting story that involves true devotion and care. Once, there was a fire breakout in the jungles of Mannarasala, ultimately injuring lots of serpents. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: verdana, geneva;\">Seeing the pain and misery, a couple named Vasudevan and Sreedevi came forward and took care of the serpents like their own child. Little did they know that their small act of love could gift them with Nagaraja\u2019s blessings in the form of two children.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: verdana, geneva;\">One child took birth in a human form, while the other was a naga (serpent). The human form took the responsibility of the ancestry. However, the other decided to meditate. Due to the time and devotion to meditation, Sreedevi could not meet her other son. However, Nagaraja allowed her to pay a visit to her son once every year. It was the beginning of the main poojas and ceremonies that still take place today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 18pt;\"><b>Festivals Celebrated in Mannarasala Temple\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">In the heart of Kerala is a temple famous for its rich and magical history. But what about its famous rituals or customs? Are they magical, too, or do they hold some religious significance like their history? So, let us discover all the famous festivals celebrated at the biggest snake temple in India, Mannarasala Temple, one by one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\"><b>1. Mannarasala Ayilam\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Mannarsala Ayilyam is one of the most important occasions at Mannarsala Naga Raja Temple, which is famous for snake encounters. The festival falls on the Ayilyam constellation in the Malayalam month of Thulam, usually in the months of October and November. The main attraction of this festival is the grand procession in which all the snake idols are carried from the sacred forest and Mannarsala temple to Illam, the ancestral home of the Brahmin family.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\"><b>2. Maha Shivaratri\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">The biggest snake temple in India, Mannarasala Nagaraja Temple, also celebrates the Maha Shivratri festival with great devotion and enthusiasm. But the celebration is nothing like what you think of. Away from the popular tradition, here in Mannarasala Temple, the Saivite tradition is followed. The Saivite tradition is one of the popular forms of worship of Lord Shiva that revolves around Raja yoga.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\"><b>3. Annual Pooja\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">If you think that Maha Shivratri is the only big festival celebrated in Mannarasala Temple, then you might be wrong. The fun begins on the fifth day of the Maha Shivaratri in the form of Annual Pooja. On this day, the main priestess of the snake temple in Kerala (also known as Mannarasala Amma) takes a short break from her temple duties and visits the Illam. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">So, in the annual pooja of the Mannarasala temple, after performing the daily pooja and rituals, Mannarasala Amma open the doors of the cellar and presents something magical to the devotees. What is it? Well, it is the sacred food called Prasadam, which is distributed to the main family members. Once this ritual takes place, now is the turn to perform the other important rituals at the Grandfather\u2019s grove, which is the home to \u2018Muthassan\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\"><b>4. Deeparadhana\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Imagine a beautiful evening during Maha Shivaratri when the temple is lit up with thousands of diyas. We are talking about another tradition followed during Maha Shivaratri, called Deeparadhana. As the name suggests, this festival includes seeking the blessings of Nagaraja by lighting candles or diyas. For people living there, this day, which is also known as Ezhunallathu, holds a special place. Usually, during this day, all the devotees observe a fast to express their true devotion to the Almighty. In the evening, the fast ends with Athazhapuja.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Also Read: <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instaastro.com\/blog\/5-alluring-temples-of-gujarat-you-must-visit\/\">5 Alluring Temples Of Gujarat You Must Visit<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Conclusion:<\/span>\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: verdana, geneva;\">Well, that\u2019s a wrap on the myths related to the biggest snake temple in India, Mannarsala Naga Raja Temple.
