Nagas

Nagas are believed to be nature spirits, guarding water bodies like lakes, rivers, springs, seas and wells. If sincerely revered, they can help in producing rain, and with it comes prosperity, money and fertility. However, they are also assumed to play a role in bringing catastrophes like floods, famine and drought if they feel insulted by mankind’s insolent actions in connection to the environment since such activities encroach on their natural homes.Worshipping of the Nagas is believed to have risen from the aboriginal inhabitants of the Ganges valley. In South India, they are considered to stand for fertility and wealth and grand rituals.
