The Nagas & Naginis | Serpentine Beings of Indian Legend

Snakes are both feared and honored throughout the world. In Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism of India, they are worshipped and feared in the form of the Nagas, and feminine Naginis. Nagas are semi-divine beings who protect sources of fresh water and precious stones and minerals. To befriend or please a Naga will bring great fortune, but beware, an angry Naga's wrath can lead to devastation!
