In the beginning of the passage it is very depressing, there looks like there is no hope for the young man
A Brahmin (most religious in India and are thought highly of) of high standing, an extremely religious man
He felt very alone, did not know where he belonged in life or the type of person he needed to be
He began to think about these things and moved on. He was ready for a new beginning, not looking backwards. He was maturing. Finding who he really was and what he really needed to do in life.
He had grown in a Brahmin lifestyle where he was always expected of so highly and lived under such a high expectations and he wants to get away from that.
The snake in his path as he stands paralyzed symbolizes the devil/evil.
Snakes "shed" their skin like he shuffles off his old identify and begins a new one in a new skin.
Who he's going to be is yet undefined.
He's no longer looking back to what had prohibited him from being the person he is destined to be.
The town is overwhelming and stressed because he is suddenly brought upon himself a massive bunch of ideas of who he is and has been and who he should be.
The story, instead of keeping a depressing tone, turned out to be a positive thing because he finally figured himself and gave himself that boost t a new life and the person he needed/wanted to be.
