Nag Panchami 2025: Puja vidhi and significance

On the auspicious occasion of Nag Panchami, devotees should wake up early and wear clean clothes. To perform the rituals, spread a red cloth on a wooden stand and place the idol of the snake god on it. Offer milk, water, turmeric, rice, flowers, roli, and sweets during worship and recite the story of Nag Panchami.

Per Drik Panchang, it is believed that if devotees worship snakes on this festival, their prayers reach the serpent gods, which reduces any negative presence in their lives. Additionally, this festival is a symbol of respect for the Nag Devta and his protection. It is said that worshipping on this day brings happiness and prosperity to the house. In the Hindu calendar, some days are considered significant to worship serpent Gods and Panchami Tithi, especially during the Shravan month, is considered highly auspicious.
