Sapera
Sapera is a form of dance from India. It is commonly thought of as a snake dance it is a dance that features heavily in the twirls with richly embroidered robes flaying out in display.
Wildlife Protection Act of 1972
the Sapera's numbers have been dwindling - what was in the thousands is now limited to only a few hundred. Their professions and their religion are slowly being 'phased out' by a law that was put in place to stop the illegal skin/fur trade.
Many Sapera practice their trade/snake handling based upon their following of the God Shiva - depicted with a Cobra.
Most of the saperas are found to be in
snakes
and earn some money.
