Naga Panchami

Naga Panchami is a Hindu festival dedicated to serpent gods, especially snakes, and is celebrated to seek their blessings and protection. It typically falls on the fifth day of the lunar month of Shravana. Devotees worship live snakes or images of snake deities, often offering milk, flowers, and sweets. The festival emphasizes respect for nature’s creatures and symbolizes the belief in snake gods’ power to safeguard communities from harm. It also reflects cultural reverence for the significance of snakes in Hindu mythology and agriculture, reminding us to honor and protect these creatures as part of the natural world.
