Nag Panchami festival has special significance in Sanatan Dharma. On this day, all the devotees worship Lord Shiva as well as the snake god. According to the Hindu calendar, the festival of Nag Panchami is being celebrated on 17th August this year. Today lakhs of people are going to visit temples since morning. Many religious experts believe that devotees should not only worship in temples, but should also read or listen to a special story related to the snake god, due to which the devotees get the blessings of God, otherwise the worship is considered incomplete.
In Hindu religion, snake is considered a special ornament of Lord Shiva. For this reason, Nagpanchami is celebrated in the month of Sawan. This year there is a special confluence of Nag Panchami and Monday of Sawan, due to which the importance of today's Nag Panchami day increases.
