However\, they are sensitive and when offended\, they can inflict diseases\, create obstacles and natural disasters. In particular\, many cancers\, skin-related conditions and family problems arise due to us knowingly or unknowingly offending a naga. \nHence it is wise to participate in naga pujas whenever the opportunity arises to please and appease the nagas. \n
