There is an Indian tradition of worshiping eagles, snakes or cobras roaming the earth. On the holy day of Shravan Vad Pancham, Nagpanchami is celebrated from house to house in the country and in Gujarat. On this day, especially on the east facing wall of the male house, the figure of the snake deity is painted with red kanku or black color. Rooney is then made into a necklace of divats and glued to both ends of the replica, called a nagla. After that Kanku-rice is offered and Aarti of Nagdevata is worshiped. Quince is also grown. The men make ladudi of millet ghee-jaggery cooler laddu and its prasad is distributed. The person in the house of worship pays homage to the ladu and cucumber of Kuler. In the village of B-Tal Shirole in Maharashtra, Nag Panchami takes out a procession of living snakes, while in some places the female members of the family also eat cold food and fast on 'Nag Panchami'. People worship the serpent as a parent. So that their family members are not bitten by any animal or reptile, they are all protected. On this day, the sighting of snakes is considered sacred. The cultivating class in the country worships Nag and works to protect their crops from it.
In Gujarat, Charmalianag (Chokdi), Vasukinag (Than), Sheshnag (Deesa-Dhima), Gonga Narayan (Dahod), Bhujio Dungar (Bhuj), Arbudanag (Ambaji-Abu), Nagnath (Jamnagar), Sheshnarayan (Somnath Prabhas) are well known Nagtirs.
Snake-snake worship is a custom in all religions and sects. 'The one who worshiped the serpent, his country became great by adopting animal-love-non-violence peace'
