Description
About The Book: Joseph Fayrer's work, On Serpent-Worship and on the Venomous Snakes of India, explores two distinct yet interconnected subjects. Published in 1892, the book delves into the cultural phenomenon of serpent-worship in India, examining its religious and societal significance. Fayrer, a British physician and naturalist, also provides comprehensive insights into the venomous snakes inhabiting the Indian subcontinent. His meticulous descriptions, accompanied by illustrations, contribute to understanding snakebite management and prevention. Fayrer's dual focus on folklore and natural history underscores his pioneering efforts to bridge cultural understanding with scientific inquiry during the colonial era in India.
