Snake Pair Reportedly Spotted During Aarti at Mata Pandal in Morena

A nag-nagin pair was reportedly seen at a Mata pandal during the Navdurga Mahotsav in Dharsola village of Morena district. The sighting took place at the Mata shrine decorated behind the Hanuman temple, where an aarti was being held.

According to villagers, both snakes appeared during the aarti and remained entwined with each other for around 30 minutes. The sight left the people present at the pandal surprised. Some villagers began raising religious slogans, while others viewed the incident through the lens of religious faith.

The video of the incident is said to be from Monday, Navami. The appearance of the snake pair has since become a topic of discussion in the village.

According to the information available, a bhajan-kirtan programme was under way at the Mata pandal as part of the Navdurga Mahotsav in Gram Panchayat Dharsola village. The nag-nagin pair was seen during the aarti. Within a short time, the scene became a subject of discussion among the people gathered there. Some villagers connected the sighting with their faith in Mata.

Villagers have also claimed that the nag-nagin pair was seen continuously for three days during Mata’s aarti this year. They said similar incidents had also been reported during the Navdurga Mahotsav over the past two years.

According to the villagers, last year too, a nag-nagin pair was seen inside the pandal continuously for four days. The discussion about the snake pair appearing again this year continues in the village.

However, instead of immediately linking the incident to a miracle, the presence of the snakes also needs to be viewed from the perspective of natural behaviour, according to the source material.

Experts have advised people to remain careful if snakes are seen. People should not go near the snakes, touch them or try to catch them. They should maintain a safe distance and inform the Forest Department or a trained snake rescue team.

The sighting at the Mata pandal has drawn attention among villagers because it took place during the aarti and because of the claims about similar appearances during the festival in earlier years.
