The seven-headed serpent god, Naga

The first time to land cambodia in neighboring countries, everything is so fresh and curious, the first stop of the trip is the capital of Siem Reap Province, Cambodia - Siem Reap, after staying in the hotel, used to walk outside the hotel, familiar with the environment, it turned out that many places on the street are standing 7 snake sculptures, very conspicuous, the next trip also confirms this phenomenon.

It turns out that Cambodians worship the snake as a symbol of auspiciousness, peace, strength and protection. The 7-headed serpent god is called Naga. Naga comes from the transliteration of the Sanskrit word "Naga", which can be seen from ancient mythological stories: Naga is the serpent god chosen by the Hindu god Brahma, and its duty is to support and stabilize the earth, that is, the main god who guards the earth.

There is a folklore in Cambodia, according to legend, at the bottom of the famous "Tonle Sap Lake" lake lived a seven-headed snake god - Naga, one day, the daughter of the snake god was going to marry the Indian prince, so he opened his mouth, sucked all the lake water dry, and in an instant, a large piece of fertile land was concocted, which became the daughter's dowry, and the people could cultivate here. It is said that because of the presence of the Naga serpent god, Tonle Sap Lake has such obvious and beautiful scenery during the dry and rainy seasons.

In Cambodia, the seven-headed serpent god is regarded as a sacred symbol of Cambodia's national origins and protector of the prosperity of the kingdom, and there are carvings and buildings of the seven-headed serpent god in many ancient ruins and modern temples. Cambodia's Independence Monument is a monument in the national style, and there are a hundred snake gods on the entire monument. Designed by the famous Cambodian designer Van Moniwang, the Independence Monument was built in 1958 and inaugurated in November 1962 to commemorate Cambodia's liberation from the French colonial regime and the heroic martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country. At the mysterious site of Angkor Wat, across the moat, are two hundred-meter-long stone paths led by the seven-headed snake totem, and at the end of the road are five small Angkor central shrines with strange spires. In the splendid Cambodian royal palace, the totem of the seven-headed snake god can be seen everywhere, the palace entrance stands the mighty seven-headed snake god, and the glittering roof carving is decorated with seven-headed snake tail cornices. The sacred Pagoda Hill is the birthplace of Phnom Penh, about 100 meters high, and the top of the hill is dedicated to the statue of Mrs. Ben, which is one of the symbols of Phnom Penh. Surrounding Tower Hill is a lush recreational park. At the entrance to the park is a huge seven-headed snake god carving, symbolizing "wind and rain"

Cambodians claim to be descendants of Naga, and are described in detail in some Cambodian mythologies, such as "The Story of the Golden Ring Snake", which depicts the blood relationship between people and snakes. Looking at the history of religious belief in Cambodia for thousands of years, it can be seen that Naga occupies a very important position in the entire religious system of Cambodia and is deeply rooted in the lives of Cambodians.
