According to Hindu tradition, Nag Panchami falls on the Panchami Tithi (fifth day) of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Shravan/Sawan. It is an auspicious day when devotees, especially women, worship Nag Devta (the serpent god) and offer prayers for the well-being of their brothers and families. This year there was widespread confusion regarding the date of Nag Panchami because the Panchami Tithi begins late at night on July 28.

The rituals include: Setting up the altar: Place a red cloth on a wooden platform and keep an idol or image of Nag Devta. Offerings: Present milk, turmeric, water, rice, flowers, roli (vermilion), and sweets. Prayers: Recite the story of Nag Panchami and seek blessings of the serpent god.
