The Nagas are creatures in Hindu mythology  that inhabit the underworld Patalas. They were the spawn of the sage Kayspa and Kadru,daughter of Daksha. Although armed with deadly venom,the Nagas are usually friendly to men,unless mistreated. In fact due to their controll of rain,they are often called upon in times of drought. Hope you found this useful.

Hello, folks!

Living in the watery region under the earth called Patala, nagas are serpentine creatures from Hindu mythology. The are semi-divine and number one thousand. They have human faces and serpent's tails, and reign in great splendor and guard treasures. There are four classes of naga: heavenly, divine, earthly and hidden depending on their function in guarding the heavenly palace, giving rainfall, draining rivers, or guarding treasures. It is said that nagas have the ability to make men invisible underwater. It is also said that nagas will give ones they favour soma. a drink that will grant the drinker great strength. The King of the nagas, Ananta-Shesha is said to have either seven or 1000 heads. It is said that nagas will destroy the world with fire eventually.

In Burma, nagas are part serpent, dragon, and part crocodile. They give rubies to those that they favour and they protect many royal people in Burmese mythology. Burmese Nagas sometimes have feathers.
