A chilling video has surfaced online and gone viral showing a woman from Mahoba, Uttar Pradesh coming in contact with a King Cobra. While reading about the instance might be scary in itself for some, it would be shocking to know that the lady stayed still even after the snake closely approached her and wrapped itself around her leg. The viral footage showed the woman calmly sitting there in the presence of the fearful reptile and praying to Lord Shiva who carries the serpent king 'Vasuki' around his neck.
