See this day on the patroWhat Nag Panchami is
Nag Panchami is Shrawan Shukla Panchami. The Nag are worshipped as guardians of water, rain and the home. A picture of the Nag is pasted above the main door, and it is believed to keep the house safe from snakes and harm through the year.
How families keep it
Families paste the Nag's picture above the door with cow dung and offer milk, rice, dubo and flowers. Often a pandit brings the picture and does the short puja.

Each date is the day Nepal keeps the festival. Nepal publishes its patro one year at a time, so a date further ahead can move by a day when that year's patro comes out. For a ceremony, Pandit Ji confirms the day and the muhurta.
