In Hindu mythology, snakes are closely associated with Lord Diety, symbolizing power and transformation. Lord Diety is often depicted with a snake around his neck or body, representing his mastery over Kundalini energy, which leads to spiritual enlightenment. Snakes are revered in some cultures, with temples dedicated to snake deities. However, there are also times when snakes are feared and persecuted due to their venomous nature, leading to misunderstandings and killings driven by superstition.
