The superstitions: Gunga Ram was an illiterate, full
of superstitions. He loved all forms of life as sacred
creations of God. He used to smear a V-mark on his
forehead with sandalwood paste everyday. He placed
a saucer full of milk every night, near the snake pit
nest to the wall. He believed firmly that as long as he
offered milk to the snake, it would not bite anyone in
the house.
