Answer 1

Snake charming as it exists today probably originated in India. Hinduism has long held serpents to be sacred; the animals are related to the Nagas, and many gods are pictured under the protection of the cobra. Indians thus considered snake charmers to be holy men who were influenced by the gods.

The earliest snake charmers were likely traditional healers by trade. As part of their training, they learned to treat snakebite. Many also learned proper snake handling techniques, and people called on them to remove serpents from their homes. Baba Gulabgir (or Gulabgarnath) became their Guru, since his legend states that he taught people to revere the reptiles, not fear them. The practice eventually spread to nearby regions, ultimately reaching North Africa and Southeast Asia.-

Answer 2

If this is a "man" mortal, then it would be one with all the virtues and devotion and passion and strength represented in gentle beauty as a flower, a marigold per se, with the wisdom of the white hair coiled from years of understanding and love; who's growth required many years of diligent searching to acquire it's length and density. These attributes would not have outward expression they would be hidden in the recesses of his gentle beautiful spirit and demonstrated by the gallant and courageous heart that would bestow love and care to all who know him. That is my idea of the most beautiful man, he is a reflexion as close as a man is able to My Lord Jesus Christ. P.S. Just checked the "Nagababas" site all that was shown on 5 sites in a google search was naked men none that in anyway resembled the beautifull person you described, so as my heart had already shown me; I prefer the holiness and beauty of the spirit that is easily understood by all people everywhere and they are not taken aback by it or confused by unfamilia images that in one country represent one thing but in another are forigne and leave one wondering what they have seen and what it might mean.
