Nag Panchami is an important Hindu festival that falls in the holy month of Sawan (Shravan). Devotees worship the Nag Devta (serpent god) on this day and offer prayers for the well-being of their families, especially their brothers. But this year, many people are confused about the exact date. Is it on July 28 or 29? Here's everything you need to know. When is Nag Panchami in 2025? According to Drik Panchang, Nag Panchami will be celebrated on Tuesday, 29 July 2025. The confusion arises because the Panchami Tithi (fifth day of the lunar fortnight) starts the night before.

What is the significance of Nag Panchami? Nag Panchami is a day to show reverence to snakes, who are believed to be close to Lord Shiva. It is said that by offering milk and worshipping snakes on this day, people are protected from negative energies and serpent-related doshas (flaws) in their horoscope. This festival is also seen as a way to seek protection from harm and pray for prosperity and happiness in the household. In the Hindu tradition, the month of Shravan is deeply spiritual, and Panchami Tithi during this month is considered especially powerful for snake worship. Live Events How to perform Nag Panchami Puja (Puja Vidhi)? Wake up early and take a bath. Wear clean clothes and set up a small altar. Spread a red cloth on a wooden platform. Place an idol or image of the Nag Devta on the cloth. Offer milk, turmeric, water, rice, roli, flowers, and sweets to the deity. Recite the Nag Panchami story and pray with devotion. In many parts of India, people also visit temples or anthills (considered abodes of snakes) to offer milk and prayers.
