Karnataka Villagers Stumble Upon '7-Headed' Snake Skin Near Temple & They're Now Worshipping It
Friday, October 11, 2019 IST
In Hindu mythology, Shesha is depicted as a giant serpent that floats coiled in space, or an ocean to form the bed on which Vishnu lies.
The snake is almost always shown with multiple heads and seven being the most popular assumption and for people in this Karnataka village it was no less than a miracle to spot a snake skin which looked like it had multiple heads.
According to a TOI report, the snake skin with seven heads was spotted in village called Marigowdana Doddi which is about 60km from Bengaluru.
Locals say that a similar snake skin was discovered in the village six months ago and that led to the construction of a shrine to worship it
What made the discovery even more intriguing for the locals was that it was near the temple premises on a field about 10 ft away from the shrine.
Reports state that this time, the skin of the seven-headed snake was found in the field of a man named Balappa.
People from other villages have arrived in Marigowdana Doddi village to view the 'seven-headed' snake skin after news of its discovery spread through social media.
Many have even offered kumkum and haldi around it.
"Villagers thought the place has special powers and built a temple here. Now, the snake skin has appeared near the temple itself," a local, Prashanth MN, said to Times Of India.
But experts have dismissed the existence of any such creature. A snake expert named Ramu P, said that two headed snakes are pretty common. Just like conjoined twins in humans snakes are also born with certain deformities.
However, a seven headed snake is not a possibility, but locals in the village are clearly not ready to believe that.
