Nagula Chavithi and Naga Panchami
Nagula Chavithi is the Telugu festival of serpent worship. Families go to a putta (anthill) early in the morning, pour milk and offer turmeric, kumkum, flowers and chalimidi to the Naga devatas, praying above all for the well-being of their children. It is kept in Karthika and as Naga Panchami in Shravana.
