When is Nag Panchami in 2025?
Nag Panchami will be celebrated on Tuesday, 29th July 2025, according to the Vedic calendar. This day falls during the holy month of Shravan and holds deep importance for those who believe in the power of divine protection and energy cleansing.
What Exactly is Nag Panchami?
Nag Panchami is a special day in Hindu tradition when people worship snakes—not out of fear, but with deep respect. Snakes like Vasuki, Ananta, and Takshak are considered divine in Indian mythology and are closely linked to Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu.
This day is not just about worship—it’s about showing gratitude to nature and the forces that protect us from unseen energies.
Why Are Snakes Worshipped Spiritually?
In spiritual terms, snakes are seen as a symbol of Kundalini energy—a powerful energy that sits at the base of the spine in every human being. When this energy awakens, it flows through our chakras and brings mental clarity, emotional peace, and spiritual awareness.
So, when you’re worshipping snakes on Nag Panchami, you’re also honoring this inner spiritual force.
How is Nag Panchami Related to Kaal Sarp Dosh?
If you’ve heard of Kaal Sarp Dosh in astrology, you know it’s not something people want in their charts. It’s said to occur when all planets are stuck between Rahu and Ketu, leading to hurdles in life—like delays, health issues, or emotional stress.
Nag Panchami is considered the best day to perform rituals and remedies that help balance or reduce the effects of Kaal Sarp Dosh.
