Lord Subrahmanya defeated the demon Tarakasura. He is closely linked with serpents in Hindu tradition, and this is why Subrahmanya Homam is a common remedy for Sarpa Dosha, the affliction believed to cause marriage delays, difficulty in having children, and repeated obstacles in life.

This Homam is commonly performed during Skanda Sashti and Nag Panchami, and on Tuesdays, which are considered auspicious for Subrahmanya worship. Families also perform it on its own when facing Sarpa Dosha or delays in marriage or childbirth.
