Yes the profession was never beneficial compared to other like arts. It was mostly carried out from generation to generation in faqeeer/sadhoo people. I think rapid urbanisation also affected snake population.

Seeing the politician and their stunts, I now believe on the myth of Sheesh naag.

“Sapera” is another very backward caste in hindus, people emply them if snake appears in their house.

@TLK

There were two other stories (kind of linked to each other) I heard. If/when you kill a snake, you have to chop the head or he will preserve the image of his killer in his eyes. His female will come and see that image and will hunt and kill the killer. Another twist of that story was that when you kill a male snake, you have to find his female partner and kill her too.

Bogus stories created by Pundas:D, so that people come to Shiva Temple and get their sin purified, you need to pay Dakshina, panditji always have solutions to your problems:)

@Monk

But if kill female snake.. male get married again.

@muqawwee123

That means you didn’t watch Sri Devi in Nagina?

BTW, whats the mystery behind Naag Mani.

Another bogus story by pundas, after praying,tapsya, of thousands of year god bestows snake with special big diamond called Naag Mani:)

@Khalil KhaaN FaaKhta

yeah…i asked my dad about this when i was a kid…in order to pacify my fears about snakes climbing up the legs of my charpai and biting me, my eldest bro told me that Hazrat Sulaiman [a.s.], who had control over jins, had made a du’aa to Allah not to allow the snake to climb up the charpai and Allah accepted it…so, the snakes can NOT climb up the khaTiyaa…lol

of course, he made up the story to sound more authentic.

this is trait of UP wallas, god bestowed natural talent:D
