| Abstract: | Abstract: The Indus Valley Civilization is acknowledged as one of the most significant ancient civilizations globally. During this period, the Naga communities were the indigenous inhabitants of the Himachal Himalayas. The Naga, an ancient tribe, practiced Naga worship, a tradition that traces its origins to the Harappan Civilization. One of the seals from this era depicts a serpent deity, with individuals bowing in reverence before it. In Pali, the term "Naga" translates to "elephant," and it is believed that Buddha was connected to the Naga (elephant) lineage. The Arya-Naga alliance, formed during Buddha’s time with the help of Avalokiteshvara, led to the establishment of Nag Panchami, a celebration dedicated to the Nagas. In mythology, Lord Shiva adorned himself with serpents, while the serpent deity Sheshnaga protected the infant Krishna. Naga worship has deep historical roots in Himachal, where Naga deities continue to be widely revered. The Naga tradition is prevalent in regions such as Lahaul, Kinnaur, Chamba, and Mandi. In Lahaul, deities like Keld and Ghep are worshipped as Naga gods, while in Kinnaur, the Naga origin stories align closely with those of Kullu. Numerous Naga temples are scattered across these regions, including Baseharu Nag, Sapni, Bruja, Paunda, Sangla, Rapang, Shishering, and Leo. In Chamba, temples dedicated to Naga deities include Indru Nag, Kelang, Vasuki, Vasan, and Kugati. Kullu is home to eighteen Naga deities, while Mandi boasts temples such as Mahunag and Kamru Nag. The name "Nag" is commonly associated with places in Mandi, including Nagdhar, Thunag, Nagon Ka Van, Nagon Ki Bobdi, and Nagon Ki Jheel, and is also a prevalent surname. In Kangra, Naga symbols are carved on stones placed at the entrances of many homes. The name Vasuki, a prominent figure in Naga mythology, frequently appears in these representations. Naga figures are also carved on the doors of temples throughout the region. |
