Naag Panchami is an important Hindu festival observed on the fifth day (Panchami Tithi) of the bright fortnight (Shukla Paksha) during the Shravan month. It is dedicated to the worship of serpent gods (Naag Devtas) and is especially auspicious in Hinduism due to its spiritual and astrological importance.
In 2025, devotees are confused whether Naag Panchami falls on Monday, July 28 or Tuesday, July 29. This confusion arises because the Panchami Tithi begins late at night on July 28.

As per authoritative Hindu Panchangs including Drik Panchang, Naag Panchami should be celebrated on Tuesday, July 29, as the Panchami Tithi is fully active during the sunrise and entire daytime hours.

🐍 Why Is Naag Panchami Celebrated?
✅ Spiritual and Scriptural Significance
Naag Panchami is rooted in Vedic traditions and Puranic stories, where serpents (Nāgas) are seen as powerful and divine protectors. They are closely associated with Lord Shiva (who wears a snake around His neck), Lord Vishnu (who rests on Sheshnaag), and subterranean wealth and fertility.
Worshipping snakes on this day is believed to:
- Prevent Sarpa Dosha, Kaal Sarp Dosh, and other afflictions in the horoscope
- Protect against accidents, fear, and illness
- Bless devotees with prosperity, long life, and peace of mind
- Maintain cosmic balance and show reverence to nature’s beings
In Hindu cosmology, snakes are also seen as guardians of the underworld and represent mystical wisdom, rebirth, and divine energy (Kundalini Shakti).
