Nagas are a class of serpent-like beings who live in the ocean and other bodies of water such as rivers, lakes and so on. There are many different classes of nagas, some of them very powerful. Nagas can greatly affect the areas in which they reside, as well as their inhabitants. If humans respect the environment and their actions are positive, the nagas will be pleased and will look after the area well. However, if we pollute or otherwise disturb the environment in which they live we harm them, and they become angry and upset. As a result, they can cause all kinds of sicknesses and bring about natural disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, tsunamis, floods and drought.
