This date is computed from sidereal Sun and Moon positions (Swiss-precision Meeus ephemeris, Lahiri ayanamsa), not copied from a stored calendar. Regional almanacs that apply a different local rule can occasionally differ by one day; where a festival anchors to a specific hour, such as midnight for Janmashtami or midday for Ganesh Chaturthi, the matching classical rule is used.
Significance
Nag Panchami is the monsoon observance of the serpent deities, when milk and offerings are made to nagas. In chart terms the day is closely associated with Rahu-Ketu propitiation, which is why remedial worship for the nodes is often timed to it.
Timing Your Observance
A festival date names the day; a muhurta names the hour. For puja timing on August 6, consult the day's panchanga: the prevailing tithi and nakshatra, the choghadiya windows, and the Rahu Kaal period to avoid. The daily panchang, choghadiya timings, and Rahu Kaal calculator cover this for your city, and the birth chart calculator shows how the day's sky sits against your own chart.
