Snake idol

Snakes are known as sarpa. Inevitably, it was worshipped in the hope that veneration would make it protect and not harm its devotees.

Snake worship forms an important part of mythology, especially in southern India, and the Atharva Veda speaks of this practice.

Indeed they are extremely popular objects of veneration, worshipped as the source of happiness, wealth and fame.

It is believed that when they are angered by disrespect, they curse people, resulting in sickness, death and the loss of property.

Therefore, most homes have their own snake shrines in a corner of the garden, often under a neem tree.

Snake idol is used to place shivalingan or bana lingam mainly used in siva pooja.
