Nalakanta

Symbolizes the divine power that controls both knowledge and destruction.

The name "Nalakanta" is deeply rooted in Hindu mythology, specifically relating to the incarnation of Lord Shiva who holds the king cobra Vasuki around his neck. This serpent had been used as a weapon by other gods to churn the cosmic ocean, and after the task was complete, Lord Shiva graciously took the serpent as a symbol of his control over the universe's primal forces (like creation, destruction, and transformation). In Hindu art, Nalakanta is depicted as a powerful deity with Vasuki, and this image can be found in many temples and religious sites across India.
