A village in Uttar Pradesh’s Aliganj district witnessed a night of fear and panic after a female snake entered a house on the day of Nag Panchami, July 29. The snake’s presence caused a stir among locals who believed it had come to avenge the death of a male snake that died in the same village about two weeks earlier.
The incident reportedly took place in Saraotia village under the Aliganj police station area of Etah district. The female snake appeared at the house of a man named Pravesh Dixit and stayed there for hours and hissed continuously through the night, Free Press Journal reported. The villagers, alarmed by the situation and their long-held beliefs, said the snake’s presence was not a coincidence.
Locals Connect Incident To Traditional Belief
As per the villagers, a male snake had been killed about 15 days ago by mistake at Dixit’s house. On the occasion of Nag Panchami, they believe the female snake, ‘Naagin’, came to seek revenge. This belief is rooted in several parts of India where snakes especially during the month of Sawan are considered sacred. It is often said in folklore that if one snake is killed, its partner may return to avenge its death.
Due to this belief, the presence of the snake led to widespread fear in the village. The entire family living in the house along with many neighbours spent the night in anxiety.
Forest Department Rescues Snake
As the fear continued, the villagers contacted the forest department. A rescue team soon arrived at the spot and started efforts to safely catch the snake. Officials said it took considerable effort as the snake was aggressive and kept hissing while lifting its hood.
A video showing forest officials trying to catch the snake has also surfaced online. It shows the snake resisting by raising its hood repeatedly.

Eventually, the team managed to capture the snake without harm. The officials then took the snake away from the area and only then did the villagers feel a sense of relief.
Officials Say Monsoon Drives Snakes Out
A forest department official said that due to the rainy season, snakes often enter homes while searching for prey like rats. In this case, the snake may have been hungry and had not hunted for a while which could be why it stayed in one place.
