On the occasion of Nag Panchami, pictures of snakes containing mantras are pasted above the entrance of the house with a belief that doing so will keep snakes away from home.
Nag Pokhari, Taudaha of Kathmandu, Nagdaha of Lalitpur and Siddhapokhari of Bhaktapur are some of the famous shrines devotees visit on Nag Panchami.
