Special Dual Rituals Held Across India on Sawan Monday and Nag Panchami

The confluence of Sawan’s third Monday and Nag Panchami prompted special dual rituals at Shiva shrines. Devotees performed water offerings, fire rites, and prayers to the naga gods. Notable sites included Gauri Shankar Temple in Delhi, Doodheswar Nath Temple in Ghaziabad, Tungareswar Mahadev Temple in Vasai, and Trimbakeshwar Jyotirlinga, where priests integrated serpent‑god puja with traditional Shiva worship.
