Inside the Myth of the Naga – Serpent Kings of Southeast Asia, Pre-Angkorian Era
Long before the rise of Angkor, along the rivers and flooded plains of ancient Southeast Asia, stories spoke of great serpents that ruled beneath the waters. The Naga—serpent kings and guardians—were said to shape rain, fertility, and destiny itself. To the people of the Mekong, they were both divine protectors and bringers of floods, binding heaven and earth through the breath of the monsoon.
This episode explores the Naga’s sacred place in early Southeast Asian belief, where Hindu, Buddhist, and indigenous traditions intertwined. More than a legend of snakes, the Naga embodied power, renewal, and the eternal cycle of creation flowing through the world’s rivers.
