Naag Panchami is a day of traditional worship of Nagas or snakes observed by Hindus throughout Nepal, India and other countries where Hindu adherents live. It falls on the Panchami of Shravan Shuklapaksh or on the fifth day of the bright half of the lunar month of Shravana, according to the Hindu calendar. 
it is believed that the worship of the snake on this day actually reaches the snake deity. In the Baidik philosophy, there are 12 snakes present, which are Ananta, Basuki, Shes, Padym, Kambala, Karkotaka, Asbhatara, Dhitrastra, Sankapala, Kaliya, Takshaka and Pingala and all of these are worshiped on Naag Panchami.
