Description: Product Description Fortune number NAGA incense stick. burn the incense stick at home with any holder. Naga , (Sanskrit: “serpent”) in Hinduism , Buddhism , and Jainism , a member of a class of mythical semidivine beings, half human and half cobra . They are a strong, handsome species who can assume either wholly human or wholly serpentine form and are potentially dangerous but often beneficial to humans. They live in an underground kingdom called Naga-loka, or Patala-loka, which is filled with resplendent palaces, beautifully ornamented with precious gems. The creator deity Brahma relegated the naga s to the nether regions when they became too populous on earth and commanded them to bite only the truly evil or those destined to die prematurely. They are also associated with waters—rivers, lakes, seas, and wells—and are guardians of treasure. Three notable naga s are Shesha (or Ananta), who in the Hindu myth of creation supports Narayana ( Vishnu ) as he lies on the cosmic ocean and on whom the created world rests; Vasuki, who was used as a churning rope to churn the cosmic ocean of milk ; and Takshaka, the tribal chief of the snakes. In modern Hinduism the birth of the serpents is celebrated on Naga-panchami in the month of Shravana (July–August). The female naga s ( nagini s or nagi s) are serpent princesses of striking beauty. The dynasties of Manipur in northeastern India , the Pallavas in southern India, and the ruling family of Funan (ancient Indochina) each claimed an origin in the union of a human being and a nagi . In Buddhism, naga s are often represented as door guardians or, as in Tibet, as minor deities. The naga king Muchalinda, who sheltered the Buddha from rain for seven days while he was deep in meditation, is beautifully depicted in the 9th–13th century Mon-Khmer Buddhas of what are now Thailand and Cambodia . In Jainism the Tirthankara (saviour) Parshvanatha is always shown with a canopy of naga hoods above his head. n art, naga s are represented in a fully zoomorphic form, as hooded cobras having one to seven or more heads; as human beings with a many-hooded snake canopy over their heads; or as half human, with the lower part of the body below the navel coiled like a snake and a canopy of hoods over the heads. Often they are shown in postures of adoration, as one of the major gods or heroes is shown accomplishing some miraculous feat before their eyes. and also for your valuable collectible thing .
