The film won the Silver Lotus Award (Rajat Kamal) for the Best Bengali Film of 1982 at the 30th National Film Awards in 1983 for "its absorbing portrayal of an ethnic group".

The story of Nagmoti focuses on a floating nomadic community of snake-worshipping gypsies known as "Bede" in the Ganges river delta, southeast of Kolkata, of the densely riverine southern Bengal. They strongly believe that their divine mission is to spread the glory of their deity, the Goddess Bishahari, the snake goddess.
