Discourage snake charmers!
They know very well how to make money by exploiting our belief. Cobras are caught several weeks before the festival of Nagpanchami, their mouths are stitched, fangs and teeth are broken, they are locked up in dark, unhygienic baskets for several days, they are offered no food or water, haldi, kumkum and other irritants are sprinkled on them, forced to drink fluids (milk) that they can not digest, they are roughed up and tortured to show their hoods at each and every devote's house. How much more can these reptiles handle? They really can't and suffer a slow, agonizing death.
And Wish you happy NAGPANCHMI to all
