IndiaA priest preparing to conduct evening prayers at the Ratnei Temple in Odisha discovered a 12-foot King cobra inside the temple premises. This caused panic among the local residents. The priest avoided entering the temple and contacted the Chikiti Forest Department. A local Snake Helpline team arrived and spent nearly an hour carefully capturing the cobra. To show respect for the temple's sanctity, the rescuers covered their shoes with sacks during the operation. During the rescue, the cobra remained unusually still as the sound of a dhol played nearby. Eventually, the cobra was safely captured and released into the wild, restoring calm to the area.
