Manasa Puja 2027: when and what time

Nag Panchami and Simha Sankranti

Kolkata times are IST, Dhaka times BST.

Drik shows Nag Panchami on Shravana Shukla Panchami; the day a family keeps Manasa Puja varies, so check your panjika (Gupta Press or Bishuddha Siddhanta). Drik's August 2027 list has no separate 'Manasa Puja' entry.

Manasa worship in Bengal

The snake goddess Manasa is worshipped on Nag Panchami, a snake-worship festival in the month of Shravan, and especially in the rainy months of Shravan and Bhadra. Women fast and offer milk at snake holes. (Source: Wikipedia, Manasa)

Worship is generally without an image: a cactus branch, an earthen pot or an earthen snake stands for the goddess. Most Bengali Hindu households keep a shrine pairing a cactus branch (Manasa) with a tulsi tree (Vishnu). In East Bengal, now Bangladesh, lower-caste Hindus worship her with great pomp.

• Which day, what is cooked and which rules apply: ask the elders of your home.
• If you are afraid of snakes, worship with the earthen snake or a picture; keep away from live snakes.

Drik Panchang gives Simha Sankranti 2027 on Tuesday 17 August: in Kolkata the sankranti moment is 2:16 pm with punya kaal from 7:24 am to 2:16 pm; in Dhaka 2:46 pm. If your family keeps Manasa Puja on the Shravan Sankranti, check the last day of the month in a Bengali panjika. (Source: Drik Panchang, Simha Sankranti 2027 (Kolkata))
