Claim: Images depicting a snake with a brightly lit snake-stone, or Nagamani, on its head and surroundings.
Fact-check: Viral Image of Snake with Alleged Nagamani Is Manipulated - FACTLY
Verdict: the image of the snake with the alleged nagamani on its head is manipulated. however, a snake catcher from a village in madhya pradesh claimed that he recently observed a bright, shining object near the snake he captured, but he was unsure of its nature. although we could not independently verify the cause of the bright spot near the snake in other images, there is no evidence supporting the existence of snakes emitting or carrying shining objects. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
