Скачать или смотреть History and Significance of Sri Nagvasuki Temple at Prayagraj | Maha Kumbh Mela 2025

At a distance of just one kilometre from the ISKCON Bangalore camp at the Maha Kumbh Mela 2025, and about 2.5 kilometres from the Triveni Sangam, stands the renowned Sri Nagvasuki temple on the banks of the holy Ganga at Daraganj. This temple plays a very important role in the history of our ancient Vedic culture. 

Throughout the historical events recorded in the Vedic scriptures, we find mention of the famous Vasuki time and again. He is the most powerful of all serpents, or nagas, and resides in the lowest planetary system known as Nagaloka as their king. 

In the tenth chapter, twenty-eighth verse of Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna says that among serpents, He is Vasuki. In other words, Vasuki represents the personification of Lord Krishna's strength, authority and opulence. Therefore, Naga Vasuki is a worshipable personality. 

According to Padma Purana, Vasuki played the vital role of the churning rope during the churning of Ksheera Sagara. However, Vasuki bore excruciating pain during this process and became severely injured, which caused intense burning throughout his body. In order to alleviate his pain, Vasuki approached Lord Vishnu for help. The Lord advised him to bathe in the cooling waters of the Triveni Sangam and subsequently rest at Prayagraj. By following the Lord's instructions, Vasuki successfully regained his strength. Since then, Vasuki has resided at Prayagraj to give darshan to devotees. 

The deity of Vasuki at the Nagvasuki temple is made of black stone and stands with five hoods and four coils. The Manas-putras of Lord Brahma themselves established this deity. 

Visit the Nagvasuki temple to immerse in the great Vedic heritage steeped with devotion.
