Kukke Subramanya Temple: The Mystery of Vasuki & Snake Worship | Telugu

Kukke’s secret lies inside its sanctum: Subramanya Swamy above, Vasuki below, and Shesha beneath him. Why are these three worshipped together? The answer begins with a serpent king fleeing Garuda—and a promise of protection that became the heart of Kukke’s sacred story. According to the temple tradition, Vasuki sought refuge in the Biladwara cave and prayed to Shiva. Subramanya Swamy’s response went beyond protecting him: he promised his continuing presence with Vasuki. This bond helps explain why a temple dedicated to Subramanya Swamy is so closely associated with serpent worship. In this Telugu video, we trace that story, explore the significance of the Garuda Stambha, and explain what actually happens during Sarpa Samskara, Ashlesha Bali and Naga Pratishta. కుక్కేలో సుబ్రహ్మణ్య స్వామితో పాటు వాసుకి, శేషుడు ఎందుకు పూజలందుకుంటారు? ఆ రహస్యం వెనుక ఉన్న కథే ఈ వీడియో.
