| A devotee worshiping the statue of Nag at Kathmandu |
Nag Panchani takes place on the 5th of Sawan(early August) to commemorate the battle between Nag and Garur. The stone image of Garur at Changu Narayan is said to perspire during the festival and priests are sent to wipe the perspiration off with a handkerchief. They later present it to the king and water is used to make it into a snake bite remedy, despite the fact that there are few snakes inhabiting Nepal.
