New Delhi:The Shri Nagchandreshwar Temple in Ujjain is unlike any other Shiva temple in India. The temple is also associated with relief from Kaal Sarp Dosh, making Nag Panchami one of its busiest and most significant days. Since the Panchami Tithi prevails at sunrise on 17 August, Nag Panchami will be observed on Monday, 17 August 2026. Why devotees visit for Kaal Sarp Dosh reliefKaal Sarp Dosh is believed to arise because of a particular placement of Rahu and Ketu in a person's horoscope. It is believed that Lord Shiva granted this wish, following which Nagraj Takshak began residing in the city of Mahakal.
