Nag Panchami

The rite

Nag Panchami worships serpent deities with milk, turmeric, and the image of Nag Devta on the door or altar. Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma leads the North Indian nag puja at Bengaluru homes, explaining safe milk offering without live snakes and how apartment families mark the tithi.

Before the visit, clear a clean floor or table space, stack samagri from the WhatsApp list in one place, and keep drinking water ready for elders. Share gate code, parking notes, and society rules when you message so setup is calm across Bengaluru traffic.

Time at the house: 1–2 hours

Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma does this at the house in Bengaluru. The fee is not printed on this page. It is sent on WhatsApp with the material list.

Why families book it

Useful when children ask why milk is poured on a picture instead of a real snake.

Traditional reverence, not protection against snakebite in place of hospital care.

Elders and children may sit nearby; the pandit pauses for brief Hindi notes so guests know when to offer flowers, ghee, or responses during mantras.

Share gotra, names, and your Bengaluru locality on WhatsApp so travel and samagri are confirmed before the day. The appointment form opens WhatsApp only; this page does not store your message.

When families ask

• On Shravan Nag Panchami morning
• When family keeps a nag image on the main door yearly
• When a new home wants first nag remembrance
• When fasting women need clear parana time
• When you want the rite completed in one calm sitting without rushing the final arati and prasad
