Translated BY

P.R.Ramachander

 

Goddess Mansa Devi is the revered Hindu goddess of snakes and venom. She is worshipped for protection against snakebites, as well as for fertility, healing, and prosperity. She is predominantly venerated in East and Northeast India, though her prominence extends across the country. [1, 2]

Mythology and Lineage

Mansa Devi’s mythology is rich and varies by region. She is often described as the daughter of the sage Kashyap and Kadru, the mother of serpents, making her the sister of Vasuki, the king of Nagas. Other traditions depict her as a mind-born daughter of Sage Kashyap or as the daughter of Lord Shiva. She is married to Sage Jaratkaru and is the mother of the sage Astika, who famously saved the Naga race from destruction.

Goddess Mansa Devi, the wish-fulfilling form of Shakti, is primarily worshipped at two highly revered shrines in North India. Both are heavily visited during the Navratri festivals
