Jhapan is the most famous local festival of Vishnupur in West Bengal. This festival is held in the month of August in the honour of the serpent-deity Manasa, the daughter of Lord Shiva. The snake charmers display tricks and amazing feats with the live, venomos snakes on decorated bullock carts. Cobras, pythons, vipers, rat snakes, kraits and flying snakes are brought in baskets made of cane or grass. The origin of this festival is believed to belongs to the 17th century when the King Bir Hambir Malla was greeted with great rejoicing on his victorious return after the battle.
