Nagas

The Nagas are mythological serpent beings found in Hindu, Buddhist, and Southeast Asian traditions. Often depicted as half-human, half-serpent entities, they symbolize water, fertility, and protection. In many cultures, Nagas are considered guardians of treasures and sacred sites, embodying both powerful and benevolent qualities. They appear in stories and art as protectors or sometimes tricksters, reflecting their complex roles within spiritual and cultural narratives. Their representations vary regionally but consistently emphasize their significance as mystical, revered beings connected to nature and spiritual life.
