Is India "the hometown of snakes?" I have seen many Indians like to play with snakes on TV. Is snakes a god that Indians believe in?

In India, snakes play an important role in culture. Indians worship snakes and regard snakes as the embodiment of "God", while cobras are especially revered and called "Nura Panbu", that is, "good snakes".

There are snake temples, snake villages, snake dances, snake boat races and snake festivals every year in India. Worship to the snake god is an ancient religious ceremony in India. Many Hindus will offer eggs and milk as offerings to the snake god on the day of the snake festival. In recent years, the Indian government has made great efforts to develop the tourism industry and dig up the ancient traditional cultural projects in the country. Because of dancing with snakes for hundreds of years, the city of Shiralai is regarded by Indians as the birthplace of the "Snake Festival", so the india tourism authorities have listed it as one of the key tourist cities.

Every August, during the Snake Festival, people of all ages, men, women, and people in Shiralai invariably go to the countryside to catch snakes. They put the snakes they caught in an ancient temple to "hoard". After dinner, they will come to the temple, scrambling to catch a snake or several snakes with their bare hands, step out of the temple and start partying and dancing with snakes. Almost all of them carry a snake in their hands, and some people hold the snake in their arms and keep kissing; Some people wrap snakes around their bodies and swagger with measured steps, as if to show off their bravery; There are many young women who actually tie snakes between their navel as beautiful "belts"; There are also some children, wearing only shorts, with eight or nine small snakes with red and green stripes hanging upside down on their naked bodies ... Although many people will be bitten and entangled by snakes, they are proud of it. These people believe that being bitten and entangled by snakes indicates that there will be no disaster and no disease in this life.
