NAGA/GARUDA PANCHAMI
Naga Chouti represents - Pooja of Sheshadevara
Garuda Panchami
- Pooja of Garuda Devara
Shesha serves as the bed of Srimannaraayana
Garuda serves as the chariot of Srimannaaraayana.
(They are in the Kakshya No 5. They both are in the same kakshya after
Vayudevaru, Bharathi deviyaru)

Garuda Panchami celebrates mother and sons love, affection, devotion and bond
between each other. The festival is dedicated to Garuda because of his devotion
towards his mother Kadhru.
In some temple, Garuda is treated as Dwarapalaka of Srihari
Traditionally, the snake is said to be the enemy of Garuda, the golden eagle which
is Lord Vishnu's vehicle. But it must be remembered here that Lord Vishnu rests
on Adi Sesha, the thousand-headed serpent. Some of the avatara of Adi Sesha, who
is always with the Lord, are Lakshmana, Balarama. Garuda has no avatara at all.
