Historical or Scriptural References

The sacred ritual, Ashlesha Bali, is often performed at Kukke Subrahmanya to seek protection from deities against Kuja Dosha, Kala Sarpa Dosha, Naga Dosha, and Sarpa Dosha. The practice of this ritual has been since ancient times. Nagaradhana, or snake worshipping, is scripted in several Puranas. 

The Vedic texts and Vedas indicate that Lord Subramanya at Kukke, Lord Shiva’s son, is the snakes’ protector. The scriptural references in Vedas mention that Vasuki, the snakes’ king, was protected from Garuda, Lord Vishnu’s bird, by Lord Karthikeyan. 

Since then, Lord Subramanya or Lord Karthikeyan has been believed to protect devotees from many doshas, specifically kaal sarpa dosha.
