A strange and fascinating video is making waves on social media, showing what appears to be three snakes engaging in a rhythmic “dance” on a road in Pune. The clip has sparked curiosity and debate, with some viewers identifying the behavior as a “snake fight” and others linking it to the traditional ritual known as “Sarpamani.” However, the exact nature of the scene remains unclear.
