Significance of Naag Panchami. Naag Panchami, often referred to as the Snake Festival, holds deep spiritual and religious significance. Beyond honouring snakes, the festival symbolises respect for life, air, and energy—essential elements of existence. It reminds us of the interconnectedness of all living beings and the importance of unity with celestial creatures. Traditionally, a picture of the Naag is placed on the main door of residences as a gesture of reverence and gratitude.
