There is a belief among the common people that on the day of Nag Panchami, it is inauspicious to use things made of iron or iron like knife, scissors, hammer, utensils etc. But along with recognition, it is also related to religious and astrology reasons, let us know about it-

According to Jyotishacharya Anish Vyas, iron is related to Rahu planet. Due to increasing side effects of Rahu, problems in life also increase. Rahu is a planet that is considered a symbol of snake and the day of Nag Panchami is the Nag deities. Therefore, people do not use things related to Rahu planet on this day.

The day of Nag Panchami is a religious day from religious terms and peace loving days according to folk traditions. Therefore, people do not do any such thing on this day on this day, which causes adverse effects of planets in life. This is the reason that even today many people do not cook bread on the pan on the day of Nag Pachmi, because Tawa is also related to Rahu.

Along with Rahu, iron is also related to Saturn. When Rahu is under the influence of Saturn, it increases many problems. People do not use iron on Nag Panchami only to maintain purity and peace.
