why did the snake charmer say that he was help Ness
Answers
venomous snakes
: an entertainer who exhibits a professed power to charm or fascinate venomous snakes.
Answer:
Snake charmers used to be a fixture at Indian markets and festivals, beguiling crowds with their ability to control some of the world's most venomous reptiles.
But one of India's iconic folk arts is fading away — and animal-rights activists say it can't happen soon enough. They say it's an art based on cruelty.
These days, it's not easy to find a snake charmer, even on Nag Panchami, the yearly religious festival in honor of the king cobra, which fell on Aug. 4 this year.
It took a full day of searching in New Delhi to find Buddhanath, a thin man with a long, white beard who was sitting cross-legged on the pavement behind a round, flat container that looked a bit like a tortilla basket.
Buddhanath wore a loosely wrapped orange turban and a sweet, joyous expression as he tapped the basket.
"I have a king cobra," Buddhanath said. "He is Lord Shiva's cobra, and we worship him."
The blue-skinned Hindu god is usually portrayed wearing a king cobra around his neck.
