Nag Panchami honours the serpent deities, known as Nagas, revered across Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain traditions in India and Nepal. One key legend says in the Mahabharata, when sage Astika stopped King Janamejaya’s snake sacrifice (Sarpa Satra) on the Shukla Paksha Panchami of Shravan month, thus sparing the serpent race. King Janamejaya was doing this to take revenge on Takshaka, the king of the snakes, who killed his father.
Since then, that fifth day has become the festival of Nag Panchami, commemorating the triumph of compassion over vengeance.

Devotees begin with a holy bath, wear clean clothes, and then prepare for the rituals. A prominent ritual involves drawing a serpent motif often on the floor, with cow dung or rice-flour paste, then decorating it with vermilion, flowers, and turmeric.
Traditional offerings include milk, turmeric, honey, flowers, rice, and even sweets like laddus or kheer.
Chanting powerful mantras dedicated to the Ashta Nag (the eight divine snakes) is common.
Wishing you a peaceful and blessed Nag Panchami.
