Devotees dance with live cobras in fearless display of faith during Hindu festival
In an astonishing display of faith, devotees in Bihar, India, celebrated the Nag Panchami festival on July 15 by dancing with live and venomous snakes wrapped around their necks, held in their hands, and even placed in their mouths. The centuries-old ritual honours the serpent goddess Vishahari and is believed to bring divine blessings.
