Ich glaube, das ist der Puliyampokkanai Nagathampiran?
 
The Tale of a Cobra God

Legend has it that 350 years ago, in a village called Puliyampokanai in Kilinochchi - Northern Province of Sri Lanka, lived a couple, Neethinayake Mudaliyar and his wife Kamalam. At her third pregnancy, Kamalam gave birth to a baby girl & to everyones surprise, a cobra!

.......

From that day onward each year his family went to Jaffna, brought offerings in arrays of bullock carts all the way to Puliyampokkanai.For the very same reason people from other villages also contributed for this and the custom evolved into a celebrated festival.
