Due to the court's order not to worship live snakes, symbolic snake worship has been conducted here for the past few days.

Nag Panchami in Sangli's 32 Shirala is being celebrated with more enthusiasm this year. The permission received from the central government on the eve of Nag Panchami has brought joy to the people of Shirala. Now, live snakes will be seen in Batis Shirala.
