Dead parents, snakes, and salvation rites! India, of course...

A man conducted religious rites for the salvation of his parents' souls in the presence of two snakes in Bihar's Gaya town after his neighbour dreamt that the snakes were his parents. 

Suresh Singh, a resident of Jhansi in Madhya Pradesh, and his neighbour Devaki offered 'Pindadan' (salvation rituals) with a male and female snake in tow at the Dev Ghat in Gaya, about 100 km from Patna, said Sanjay Lal, a Hindu priest, who conducted the rituals for them.

Devaki and Singh, both in their 40s, reached Gaya with two snakes in bamboo baskets on Monday and approached priests to offer 'pindadan' for Singh's parents who were killed in an accident a few years ago. More...
