The Origin of the Naga: From Brahmanic Belief to Thai Legend      The Naga is a powerful symbol of sacredness, fertility, and the forces of nature deeply rooted in Asian belief systems. Its earliest origins can be traced back to Brahmanic traditions in India, where Nagas were described as serpent beings possessing immense power, both benevolent and fearsome. In these traditions, Nagas dwell in the underworld, guarding treasures and controlling waters, maintaining the balance of the universe.      As this belief spread into Southeast Asia, including Thailand, it merged with local folklore and transformed into the revered “Phaya Naga.” Along the basin of the Mekong River, people believe these great serpents dwell beneath the waters, protecting the river and the communities that depend on it.      In Thai mythology, the Naga evolved beyond a mythical serpent into a semi-divine being with morality, devotion, and compassion. Many stories describe...

       Nagas are among the mythical beings mentioned in Buddhist scriptures such as the Tipitaka and the Jataka, often appearing as semi-divine creatures with powers surpassing those of humans, yet still not free from defilements like gods or ordinary people.
