Thousands of superstitious Hindus threatened
to riot when police raided an Indian temple to
stop a lovelorn peasant marrying a snake.
Sandeep Patel, 27, was convinced the cobra
had been a beautiful woman in a previous life
and had now fallen in love with him.
He claimed that he could also turn into a snake
at night after going into a deep trance.
And he told everyone that the slithering reptile
had promised to wed him on Easter Saturday.
Between 12,000 and 15,000 people flocked to
watch the ceremony at the remote village of
Badwapur in Phoolpur state.
Excited Sandeep, who arrived wearing just
trousers and a white vest, was soon garlanded
with colourful flowers by the crowd.
The Hindu priest carrying out the marriage told
them that he had “exhibited traits of a snake”
since childhood.
He added: “Sandeep walks, drinks and flickers
his tongue just like a snake.”
But the orange-robed priest ran away in a panic
when armed police burst into the temple after
being tipped off about the bizarre wedding.
Both Sandeep and his father Dayashankar, a
farmer, were arrested for “breaching the peace”.
But then, India newspapers reported, the
disappointed crowd threatened to riot because
the wedding had been cancelled.
Police reinforcements had to be called in to
disperse them to their homes in surrounding
villages.
Nine years ago an Indian woman called
Bimbala Das married a cobra at the village of
Tala in Orissa.
Priests chanted mantras for an hour as she sat
in a temple wearing her best silk saree.
Unfortunately the snake, said to live in a nearby
ant hill, failed to turn up.
So 30-year-old Bimbala held a brass replica
instead.
She said later: “Though snakes cannot speak or
understand, we communicate in a peculiar way.
The cobra has never harmed me.”
Her neighbours in the village were delighted by
the wedding. They claimed it would bring good
fortune to the area.
