Significance of Snake Worship Introduction & Significance Naga Chaturthi, falling on the 4th day during the bright fortnight of the auspicious Sravana Maasa, followed by Naga Panchami on the next day, is celebrated as the Naga Devatha festival. The Serpent God Aadi Sesha is the presiding Deity for Panchami thithi. It is a festival celebrated every year in honour of snakes. It is considered highly auspicious and sacred to worship the Serpent God on these days. It is said to be the day Lord Brahma gave a boon to serpents that they would be adored by human beings on Earth.
