Nag Panchami 2025: Festival to Be Celebrated on July 29 – Auspicious Timings, Rituals, and Significance Explained
Pune, July 28, 2025: In Hinduism, the festival of Nag Panchami holds deep spiritual significance. Celebrated annually during the month of Shravan, this year the festival will fall on Tuesday, July 29, 2025. On this day, devotees worship Nag Devta (Serpent God) along with Lord Shiva, seeking protection from snake-related fears, snake bites, and relief from Kaal Sarp Dosh in their horoscope.
Auspicious Date and Time
According to the Hindu Panchang (calendar), the Shravan Shukla Panchami Tithi begins at 11:24 AM on July 28 and ends at 12:46 AM on July 30. Considering Udaya Tithi (day-based calculation), Nag Panchami will be observed on July 29.
The auspicious time for performing the puja on July 29 is from 5:41 AM to 8:23 AM. Devotees are encouraged to perform rituals within this window for maximum spiritual benefit.
Nag Panchami Rituals
- Take a bath early in the morning and wear clean clothes.
- Traditionally, snake images are created using cow dung and worshipped.
- Devotees fast on this day and offer milk to the snake deity.
- Mantras dedicated to Nag Devta are chanted, and devotees pray for their wishes to be fulfilled.
Belief in Kaal Sarp Dosh Remedies
It is believed that Kaal Sarp Dosh, which occurs when all planets in a birth chart lie between Rahu and Ketu, can be mitigated by performing Nag Panchami puja. Rahu’s ruling deity is ‘Kaal’ (Time) and Ketu’s is ‘Serpent’. Worshipping Nag Devta is thought to reduce the ill effects of this planetary combination.
