Fragmented sculptures
In the Nag temple located in Auraiya district of Uttar Pradesh, fragmented idols are worshiped under the broken roof. It must be very strange to hear, but it is absolutely true. Here, fragmented idols under the broken roof are worshiped with great pomp on the day of Nag Panchami. It is not that no one tried to fix the broken roof in the temple. People say that people who tried to fix the roof of the temple or broken idols, someone died accidentally in their house.
The ancient Dhaura Nag Temple, built in Sehud village of Dibiyapur police station area of Auraiya, is famous for its separate impression. As soon as the fragmented Murtia enters this temple, even today, the reality of the demolition of Mohammad Ghaznavi’s invasion in the 11th century tells the reality. This feature of the temple separates it from the rest of the temple. On the day of Nag Panchami, devotees from far and wide reach for darshan. The broken roof of the temple cannot be cured till date.
The roof of the temple could not be cured till Abhi
Local people say that some people had tried to fix the roof of the temple, but before the completion of the work, someone died in their family or there was some major loss. An engineer from the village who worked in Lucknow also tried to put the roof of the temple, but two members of his family had died before the work was completed.
Fair on Nag Panchami
Due to this fear, no one thinks about getting the roof of the temple fixed. According to Hindu customs, neither broken idols are kept nor worshiped in any temple. Only broken idols are worshiped here. A fair is also held here during Nag Panchami, for which people reach the district from far and wide.
