Nāgaraja

Lore

Nāgaraja are the serpent kings of Hindu and Buddhist mythology, ancient rulers of the Nāgas who dwell within hidden underground kingdoms, sacred rivers, and celestial realms. Often depicted as colossal cobras crowned with jewels and divine splendor, they embody both immense wisdom and terrifying power. Some legends describe Nāgaraja as guardians of sacred treasures and protectors of cosmic balance, while others warn of floods, curses, and destruction unleashed when they are angered. Coiled between the mortal world and the divine, these serpent sovereigns remain among mythology’s most ancient and mysterious beings.
