Sacred Vrat Katha (Full Narrative)
A virtuous young daughter-in-law without brothers of her own worshipped the serpent deity with pure innocent devotion on Nag Panchami, adopting Nagdev as her spiritual brother.
Touched by her unblemished sincerity, the Serpent King assumed human form, arrived with grand wedding gifts, and embraced her as his sister, blessing her household with unimaginable fortune, health, and lifelong immunity from serpent venoms.
