Naga Kanya, also known as Nag Kanya or Naag Kanya, is the benign deity of the three worlds, the keeper of wealth, and the snake of the rainbow. In Hindu mythology, Nagas are serpentine spirits that live in the underworld and guard and provide the Mother Goddess's teachings. They are said to protect all mystical and esoteric teachings, only sharing them with those who approach them with humility. In exchange, they provide the seeker gifts and safety. The Nagas are sometimes referred to as apsaras, or elemental nymphs, who rule over both the visible and invisible realms of reality. Polluting the areas where they are claimed to reside is considered incredibly insulting, and they are petitioned for favors about the weather.
