Residents of Hardidali village in Maharajganj, Uttar Pradesh, were left in shock after a disturbing discovery in the basement of a local house. A viral video shows a large group of snakes—reportedly more than ten—coiled together in what appears to be a nest-like formation, stirring fear among locals.
According to Bharat Samachar, the snakes were found nesting in a damp, shadowy corner of the basement. The reptiles were seen closely huddled together, gently slithering without dispersing. The unsettling visuals, captured in low light, were posted on X (formerly Twitter), and quickly began circulating online, sparking concern and fascination in equal measure.
