Marriage party members dance with deadly snake in Odisha, Snake charmer held

Odisha :A snake dance, a cobra, and a wedding. A scene straight out of a movie that came to life at Karanjia in Odisha on Wednesday, when a snake charmer was hired to perform at a wedding celebration. However, this was one performance that went wrong. 

The snake charmer first lured the snake out of its bamboo basket, by



playing his flute-like clarinet known as the pangi. But he went a step further. He then picked up the basket itself to do the Nagin dance, a popular snake dance in India. Enthusiastic revellers joined him. The snake-charmer was booked under the Wildlife Protection Act and produced in court, which promptly ordered the man and his pet to be locked up.
