Kali reacted immediately and placed herself between the snake and the children, confronting it in an intense fight until she managed to kill it. However, during the struggle, she was bitten on the mouth and, despite her effort, died from the venom.

Thanks to her intervention, none of the children were injured. Afterward, the local residents held an emotional funeral ceremony in her honor, highlighting her bravery and sacrifice ❤️‍🩹.
