Ram, Naga Chaturhti is done just by married ladies. Panchami is done by young and old, men and women. No, I don’t think Naga Panchami and Garuda Panchami are the same.

Meera,
How can Naga Panchami and Naga Chaturthi be celebrated here in the US? Other than making “beyisida kadubu” to eat, I cant think of anything else.:-)
Sashi
Sashi, What’s the problem in celebrating the festival in the US? I have Silver Idol of Nagappa, and we do the pooje to the same.
