Description
The practice of snake worship is a part of Kerala's rich cultural legacy.The stillness and beauty of wilderness near a home provides protection to many species of birds,rodents and reptiles.There are very interesting stories for children, told by grandmas related to snake worship.Snake groves have ecological and environmental significance also.Cutting down trees and killing snakes are strictly prohibited and once in every year a special ritual is conducted to feed the snakes with milk and bananas.Serpents are considered as fertility deities and they protect humans from bad karma-a belief of the devotees.So every evening,just before the sunset a woman of the household with children visit the snake grove with pure thoughts and lit a clay lamp in front of snake idols and pray for the prosperity of the whole family.
