People are rushing to Marigowdana Doddi village in Kanakpura, located about 60 kilometers from Bengaluru city in Karnataka after locals discovered a skin that they believe is of a seven-headed serpent.
In Hindu mythology, Shesha or Sheshanaga is depicted as a giant serpent that floats coiled in space, or ocean to form the bed on which Lord Vishnu lies.
Locals say that a similar snakeskin was discovered in the village six months ago, following which a shrine was constructed to worship it. This happened in May, and videos of that snakeskin had also gone viral online.
