Why isn't bread made on night panchami? Learn what is really unpleasant

The Feast of Night Panchami is celebrated on the fifth day of Shukla Paksha of Shravan. This festival is best known for the worship of the snake god. In the tradition of India, snakes are worshiped as a deity, especially on this day, women offer milk to the walls of the houses and offer them milk and wish the happiness and peace of the family. But a special tradition is followed on this day – bread is not made on this day. After all, what is the reason for this? Is it really considered unpleasant to make bread? Let us know what the religious and mythological beliefs are behind it. Religious Faith: Why was it considered unpleasant to make bread? On the day of Night Panchami is avoided the use of soil and fire. According to the mythological faith, the earth and animals that live within them, especially the snakes, should not suffer on this day. To make bread, heat the grill, burn wood or gas and knee dough – all these tasks are associated with the earth and fire element. In such a situation, it is believed that these tasks hurt the shelter of the snakes, that is, the earth. It is also believed that no work should be done on this day that causes damage to an organism. Since the snakes live underground, if the stove is burned or the dough is counted while making bread, it is possible that it will disturb their peace. This is why it is not a popular tradition to make bread on earthly or iron stove. This rule is related to the legend, according to one conviction, the wife of a farmer plowed the field once on the day of Night Panchami, which caused the child of night. Night Devta got angry and stabbed his three sons. But when the woman realized the mistake, she worshiped the snake and apologized. The snake gods were satisfied and gave his three sons life. Since then, the earth is not plowed, and the stove is not burned and the bread is made. What do people eat on night panchami? On this day, foods that are already prepared or eaten without fire are eaten. In some places, people consume milk, quark, fruits, sweets and enjoyment. In some families, things like Puri, Keer, Petha, Jaggery are made that have already been made or without stove. What happens by making bread on night panchami? According to public faith, making bread can make the snake gods unhappy on this day and can cause disaster on the family. This is especially considered unpleasant in rural areas. Although not all follow it in urban areas, but those who believe in tradition still avoid bread on this day.
