According to Hindu mythology, Krishna was playing with his friends on the banks of the Yamuna River. At that time, his ball got stuck in the tree's branches. When Krishna was trying to get back the ball, suddenly, he fell into the river. At that time, he was attacked by Kaliya, who was known as a fearsome snake. After doing a long and fierce battle with Kaliya, he realises Krishna and thinks that he is not like another ordinary child who would beg for mercy. Do you know that Krishna spared the snake only on one condition: that he would never disturb any people again? That is why this day, Nag Panchami, is celebrated to commemorate Krishna's victory and his act of saving people from Kaliya.
