  • "Serpent Mother étudie la dévotion dans l'ouest du Bengale à la déesse de serpents et de l'importance de l'importance de cette puissant divinité féminine dans la vie quotidienne. Le film se concentre sur le "Jhapan Festival", la grande fête des serpents et en montre les préparatifs, le rôle des arts traditionnels et l'artisanat liés au culte de la déesse, les chants dévotionnels, mais aussi l'observation de l'action rituelle. Le symbolisme complexe du rituel y est expliqué par les participants eux-mêmes. Ce film appartient à la série des films "Pleasing God", sur les cultes hindous. Ces films sont des études des dévotions et de leurs pratiques liées aux trois grandes divinités du panthéon hindouiste. Ils ont été réalisés dans la petite ville historique de Vishnupur, dans le Bengale occidental - la ville des temples, de l'artisanat et des marchés, le centre d'un ancien royaume, et un lieu où la vie quotidienne et cultuelle sont étroitement imbriquées."
