Whatever the Siththars begin to do they will start to do only after praying Lord Siva. Like them, snakes too prays Lord Siva says Bogar.
Now let us see the remedy of naga dhosham.
On the naga panchami that comes after the new moon day of the Tamil month Aavani (equivalent to Aug 15 - Sep 15), under a banyan tree place a naga yantra on the pedestal, on it place the idol of the snake made up of black rock, which is posed like having the siva lingam and by worshipping it you will get rid of the naga dhosham and live happily says Bogar.
The idol of the snake and the naga yantra that has to be worshipped should be of certain prescribed constraints, those are also mentioned by Bogar.
This is a sample picture of the snake idol.
He has told that the idol of the snake should be lesser than two and half feet (including pedestal) and the snake should be in 3 or 5 turns. On the day of placing the idol, only milk, fruits has to be consumed and worshipped with dedication says Bogar.
With this the remedy for the naga dhosham is over.
In the next post we shall see about the relation between Islam and Siththars.
