The Hindu festival of Naga Panchami is dedicated to snake worship. It is observed on the fifth day of the Shukla Paksha in the Shravan month. This year, Naga Panchami will be celebrated on August 02.
Nag Panchami is a traditional worship of 'Nag' or snakes honoured by Hindus, Jains, and Buddhists. Since "Nag" in Hindi alludes to a snake, people worship snake gods at the festival of Nag Panchami.
According to the Hindu calendar, the day set aside for praying to the snake deity falls on the fifth day of the bright half of the lunar month of Shravan or Sawan (July/August). Typically, the day of Nag Panchami occurs two days after Hariyali Teej.
A Naga or serpent god made of silver, stone, wood, or a picture of snakes is reverently bathed in milk as part of the celebrations, and their blessings are requested for the family's well-being. As per drikpanchang, the Nag Panchami puja muhurat will begin at August 02, 05:43 am to August 03, 08:25 am.
Nag Panchami puja mantra:
Sarve Naga: Priyantam me ye kechit prithvitale ।
Ye cha helimarichistha yantre divi sansthita:॥
Ye nadishu Mahanaga ye saraswatigaminah ।
Ye cha vapitadgeshu teshu sarveshu vai namah॥
Anantham Vasunki Sesham Padmanabham Cha Kambalam ।
Shankha Palam Dhritarashtra Taksham Kaliyam tatha ॥
Etani Nava Naamani Naganan Cha Mahatmanam ।
Saayankaale pathenityam praatkaale vishesatt:।
Tasya Vishbhayam Nasti Sarvatra vijayi bhaweta॥
