Nag Panchami Dates 2027 to 2035: Exact Day of the Week

Nag Panchami dates start on Friday, August 6, 2027, and run through 2035. The table below gives each date with its weekday, ISO week number and days left, so you can plan puja, fasting and family visits early.

How to Read the Nag Panchami Dates Table

The table has five columns. Date shows the day Nag Panchami is observed, and Day gives the weekday. Week is the ISO week number, which helps when you plan work or school schedules. Days left counts down from today to each future date, so that figure changes daily. Every date follows the same rule: Shravana Shukla Panchami in the Hindu lunar calendar.

Why Nag Panchami Dates Change Every Year

Nag Panchami is the Hindu festival of snake worship (नाग पंचमी). It falls on the fifth lunar day (Panchami) of the bright fortnight (Shukla Paksha) of the month of Shravana, which usually lands in July or August.

The Hindu calendar is lunisolar, and festivals follow its lunar part. A lunar year lasts about 354 days, roughly 11 days shorter than a solar year. So the festival drifts earlier on the Gregorian calendar each year.

The table confirms this pattern. Nag Panchami moves 10 to 12 days earlier in 2028, 2030, 2031, 2033 and 2034. It then jumps 19 or 20 days later in 2029, 2032 and 2035. That jump is typical of a leap month (adhika masa), which realigns the lunar calendar with the seasons about every three years.

Earliest and Latest Nag Panchami Dates Through 2035

The earliest date in this period is Thursday, July 20, 2034. The latest is Tuesday, August 14, 2029. Every date falls in a 26-day window between those two days, so you can always expect Nag Panchami in late July or the first half of August.

Nag Panchami Date and Time: How to Find the Panchami Tithi

A tithi is a lunar day in the Hindu calendar. Unlike a calendar day, a tithi does not run from midnight to midnight. It can start on one day and end on the next, and its start and end times change from city to city.

This page gives you the calendar day on which Nag Panchami is observed. For the exact Panchami tithi timing and the puja window, check a panchang calculated for your city. Two cities in the same country can show slightly different times for the same festival.

What Is Nag Panchami? Meaning and Significance

Nag means cobra or serpent, and Panchami means the fifth day of the lunar fortnight. Devotees honour the Naga deities and offer prayers for protection and well-being. Reference works such as this Naga Panchami overview describe the day as worship of snakes observed in India, Nepal and other countries with Hindu communities.

The festival arrives with the monsoon, when snakes leave flooded burrows. Tradition links the worship to safety from snakebites during the rains. Snakes also hold a place in Hindu iconography. Shiva wears the serpent Vasuki around his neck, and Vishnu rests on the serpent Shesha.

One popular legend comes from the Mahabharata. King Janamejaya held a sacrifice to destroy all snakes, and the sage Astika stopped it on the Shukla Panchami of Shravana. Many families trace the festival to that day.

Other texts add their own promises. According to the Bhavishya Purana, bathing serpents such as Vasuki, Takshaka and Karkotaka with milk on this day protects a family from danger. Some traditions also link the day to Krishna’s victory over the serpent Kaliya in the Yamuna river.

How Nag Panchami Is Celebrated: Rituals and Traditions

Customs differ by region, but most families follow a similar pattern:

• Bathing snake idols or images with water and milk
• Offering flowers, sweets and lamps to the Naga deities
• Drawing snakes on walls or doorways with turmeric or sandalwood paste
• Visiting snake temples and Shiva temples for puja
• Fasting for the day, and in some families avoiding digging the soil
  In parts of South India, people shape small snake figures from cow dung and place them on both sides of the house entrance. In many villages, images of snakes are painted on house walls to welcome the serpent deity.

Wildlife experts advise worshipping idols or images rather than live snakes. Milk can harm snakes, and Indian wildlife law protects them.

A Simple Nag Panchami Puja at Home

Families follow their own customs, but a basic home puja usually runs like this:

1. Clean the prayer space and place a snake idol, picture or drawing.
2. Bathe the idol or wipe the image gently, then offer milk, flowers and sweets.
3. Light a lamp and recite your family’s usual prayers or mantras.
4. End by feeding people in need, a gesture some traditions link to the Garuda Purana.
5. Follow your family priest or temple guidance, since procedures vary by region.

Nag Panchami, Nagara Panchami and Naga Panchami: Same Festival, Different Spellings

Nag Panchami, Nag Panchmi, Naag Panchami, Naga Panchami and Nagara Panchami all refer to the same festival of serpent worship. The spelling changes with language and region. Karnataka, for example, uses the name Nagara Panchami. Some regions also observe the festival in the dark fortnight of Shravana, so confirm the date with your local calendar if your family follows a regional tradition.

Nag Panchami in India and Nepal

Nag Panchami is observed across India and in Nepal, where Hindu communities also worship snakes on this day. Both countries use the same Shravana Shukla Panchami rule, but local panchang calculations can differ slightly. Check your own country’s calendar for the exact day and tithi timing.

Is Nag Panchami a Public Holiday in India?

Nag Panchami is a religious festival, not a national holiday. India’s three national holidays are Republic Day, Independence Day and Gandhi Jayanti. The 2026 central government gazetted list does not include Nag Panchami.

Whether schools, offices or banks close depends on the state and on each year’s official notification. The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) publishes the central holiday list, and every state government publishes its own. If you live in Uttar Pradesh or any other state, check that state’s current holiday list before you plan leave.

Planning Around Nag Panchami Dates

1. Note the date and weekday from the table above.
2. Check a city-specific panchang for the Panchami tithi timing.
3. Confirm any local holiday notice from your state, school or employer.
4. Arrange puja items such as milk, flowers, sweets, lamps and turmeric early.
5. Add the date to your calendar and set a reminder a week ahead.
