Nag-Panchami is a very important Hindu festival which is celebrated on the fifth day (Panchami) of the moonlit-fortnight in the month of "Shravan" (July /August). In this period the snake holes fill up with rain water and hence the serpents come out of it and take a  shelter in shrubs,gardens and in the nearby houses.

Some of them are caught trickyly by the snake charmers who then remove their poisonous bags.Such harmless snakes are brought in the residential areas where people can worship them.Also clay images and printouts of snakes are sold in the market on the day of Nagpanchami.

People buy such images and worship at home by offering  milk and durva(thin grass blades).The next day Uttar Pooja is performed and the snake image is flown in a river,ocean,pond or kept in dense shrubs.As per the tradition Nagpanchami pooja is performed by the people who worship  Ganapati on Ganesh Chaturthi.
