Get Kaal sarp dosh depleted with this easy remedy! Nag Panchami is the day for worshiping snakes and is celebrated on the fifth day of the Shukla Paksha (the brighter fortnight) in the month of Shravan. As per Hindu Astrology, snake governs the fifth date and hence it's called Nag Panchami.
The Vrat is observed on this day of Shukla Paksha and if panchami prevails for less than three Muhurats and if the chaturthi tithi is also of less than three Muhurats, then the Naga Vrat should be observed on Chaturthi. And if in case the Chaturthi Muhurats are more and only the Panchami Muhurats are less, then one can also observe the fast on next day. According to the Hindu tradition, Nag Panchami is also celebrated on the fifth day of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Chaitra or Bhadrapada in many other parts of India. Due to the variations it is also celebrated during Krishna Paksha in some regions.

The snakes are considered to be of two types viz. Divya and Bhaum. Vasuki and Takshak, etc are the Divya snakes who are believed to carry the burden of the earth. In medicine it is believed that poison is the cure for poison but there is no alternative cure for the poison emitted by these type of snakes.
