A video showing a woman performing a Chhath Puja ritual has gone viral online. While offering her prayers to Lord Surya, a snake was seen slithering towards her. While many would find such a sight alarming, the woman remained completely calm in the presence of the dangerous reptile.

In the now viral video, the woman can be seen standing in a body of water, praying and offering fruits and sweets to the rising sun. During this ritual, a Krait snake slithered towards her. However, instead of panicking or running away at the sight of the snake, he remained calm and gently swayed to the side to allow the reptile to pass. Then the snake walked away without causing any harm.

The woman’s display of calm in a potentially dangerous situation resonated with Internet users. After being shared, the video quickly went viral, garnering millions of views and numerous comments.

Many users praised the woman for her calm demeanor. One user said: “Your devotion is truly inspiring. Faith over fear!” Another echoed this sentiment, saying: “This is a true testament to the power of faith and belief.”

Pointing out the potential danger depicted in the video, one user commented: “If a Ringed Krait bites, there is only a 10% chance of survival.”

On a lighter note, another user humorously asked, “How much aura did Aunty Ji gain from this?”, while some suggested that the snake might have been attracted to the special Chhath Puja sweet, ‘Thekua’.

Meanwhile, Chhath Puja is a four-day festival that includes various rituals focusing on purity and devotion. This year, the celebrations began on November 5 and concluded on November 8.
