Quick Answer
After a cobra enters the family's yard and they lose track of it in the grass, an old woman claims that this is a sign from the deity Murugan, who is associated with snakes in Hinduism. As the family seeks to appease this deity, offering the snake some milk is a necessary ritualistic practice. Additionally, in India snakes are not to be harmed if possible, which is another custom they abide by.
