Got to know the secret of the poison of snakes, know how they became so poisonous

Snakes are considered as deities in India and they are worshiped on Nag Panchami.

This year on August 21, the festival of Nag Panchami will be celebrated with pomp across the country.

An ancient legend related to the poison of snakes is prevalent in the Shiva Purana.

According to Shiva Purana, snakes were not poisonous before, that is, they were non-venomous creatures.

During the churning of the ocean, the churning was carried out by making Nagraj Vasuki a rope.

From this churning came out a poison named Halahal.

After this, Lord Shiva took this poison in his throat.

When Lord Shiva was drinking poison, a few drops fell on the ground.

This poison was consumed by snakes, scorpions and other poisonous animals.

According to Shivpuran, snakes have become poisonous since then.
