How is Subramanya Shasti celebrated?
On this day we have to perform pooja of Subramanya and visit temples. Subramanya Swami is worshipped in the form of five- hooded snake. While doing the Subramanya Shasti we have to do the pooja mainly to Sankapala, one of the serpents. Shankapalantargata Sankarshanaya nama: We have to chant “Om ram skandhaaya nama: Om” while inviting Subramanya. We have to chant “Dhanu:shaktidharo dhyEya: kaamado bhayanaashana:” for dhyana shloka.
