Nagpanchami celebrations in Shirala will be restored, promises home minister

IndiaTimes Friday, 8 November 2024
India's Home Minister Amit Shah pledged to reinstate the traditional Nag Panchami cobra worship in Battis Shirala, Maharashtra. The Bombay High Court banned the practice in 2014 following a campaign by wildlife activists. Shah attributed the ban to "vote bank politics" and assured that the celebrations would resume under a BJP-led government while upholding legal boundaries.
