Fearless holidaymakers may want to consider booking a last-minute SpiceJet flight to India in time for Naga Panchami - or Snake Day - which is on August 4th.

It is believed by many that worshipping snakes will prevent the animals from biting any member of the family.

During this celebration of the reptile, visitors with flights to Delhi may witness a large number of snake charmers on the streets.

Those who head down to Mumbai might be able to see cobras being fed sweetened milk as is traditional.

Snakes feature prominently in Hindu culture, for example Shiva is regularly depicted with one around his neck, while Vishnu is often seen reclining on one.

Those who have time to head down to Kerala may want to visit Mannarshala, which is a temple dedicated to serpents.

It features more than 30,000 images of snakes at the site and is often frequented by women seeking greater fertility.
