Image description:
In Neolithic times, the people had animistic beliefs related to rice-growing and water spirits, including nagas and nagis (multi-headed serpents), which were thought to inhabit rivers, lakes and irrigated fields. In the myth of the origin of Funan, the Brahman adventurer Kaundinya married the local ruling queen, who was a nagi and guardian of the treasures. The union between the ruler and the naga of the state temple became part of the royal cult, and nagas have always played a prominent part in Cambodian architecture and iconography.
