Nag Panchami 2026 will be observed on Monday, August 17, during the holy month of Sawan. The festival is dedicated to Nag Devta, or serpent deities, and is also closely associated with Lord Shiva, who is traditionally depicted with a snake around his neck.
Observed on the Panchami Tithi of Sawan, Nag Panchami is considered an important day for worshipping serpent deities. Devotees pray for protection, family well-being, good health and relief from fear. Some also perform rituals seeking relief from the effects of Sarpa Dosha and blessings for their children.
