Significantly, centuries ago the landlord of the village had saved the life of a snake. In return, the snake gave a boon that the soil of the village could neutralize the poison if someone fed on it. Apart from this, if a person bitten by a snake is taken to the border of the village in time, then his life will be saved.

This belief persists even today. This is the reason why people from far-flung areas like Raigad, Bilaspur, Mahasamund, Korba, and Baloda Bazar come to Katha village on Nag Panchami to seek Baba's blessings. They perform rituals and take the soil from this village to their homes.
