A viral video shows a woman calmly performing the Chhath Puja ritual in the river when a snake approaches her. Instead of panicking, she simply moved aside to allow the snake to pass.

The video shared by @sanjayjourno begins with a snake slithering through the water where devotees were performing the pooja. As it neared the woman, she made way for it without fear.

Watch:


Chhath Puja, a significant festival for the Purvanchali community, honors the Sun God. The festival involves a strict four-day ritual and is especially important for the Bhojpuri-speaking populations of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Jharkhand, particularly in Delhi.
