The day of the snake gods, the fifth of the brightening lunar fortnight late in July or early August is celebrated to offerworship and to show reverence to serpent gods believed to be dwelling down in Patal, the Nether world.
This festival is observed because of the belief that the snake gods, when assuaged, bring sufficient rains, prevent water fountains from draught, cure disease and guard treasures. Special offerings of milk, ghee is made to please the snake deities near water sprouts, pools, springs and streams. Picture of snake deities are made and pasted on front doors on the occasion.
