Discover the incredible story of the Indian Spectacled Cobra (Naja naja), a creature caught between ancient mythology as the serpent Vasuki and the modern reality of India’s snakebite crisis.

In India, the cobra is more than just a predator; it is a divine icon. From the neck of Lord Shiva to the rural rice paddies of the subcontinent, this documentary explores the unique duality of a snake that is both worshipped as a god and feared as a lethal neighbor.
