A woman was sleeping when a cobra was seen sitting on her back. This was a terrifying sight. According to news reports, the snake sat with its hood open for more than an hour in the Kalaburagi district of Karnataka.

The woman was lucky that the snake didn’t hurt her. The woman in the video was reportedly taking a break on a cot after finishing her fieldwork. Soon after, the snake climbed onto her back and was seen just chilling there. When the woman saw what was happening, she began to chant God’s name and ask him to protect her. The snake sat still on her back for about an hour and then left without hurting her.

IFS officer Susanta Nanda posted the video on Twitter. He sent the video to his friends and wrote, “When something like this happens, what would you do?” For the record, the snake left after a few minutes without hurting anyone… (This came from a coworker)”

True Story.

Something similar happened with me when I was 16. A snake coiled behind my head while I was in slumber. Snakes were common in villages during monsoon especially the villages by the water bodies. I woke up with a start when I felt my hair moving continuously.. https://t.co/xLFiSz7ypd
