According to Indian popular belief, there is an entrance to the Patala located at the Sheshan Well. The place is visited by many tourists, even if the natives of the area maintain the utmost respect for it. This is due to the ancient myths that Nagas are a highly advanced race, having access to ancient technology. In Vedic literature they are often related to Vimana, flying machines from India. He is also attributed “magic stones” and a third Eye.

The third Eye, according to esotericism, it is the gateway to the inner realms and spaces of the higher consciousness. In New Age spirituality, the third eye symbolizes a state of enlightenment or the evocation of mental images that have spiritual significance.

In a Cambodian legend, the naga were a race of reptiles that possessed a large kingdom in the Pacific Ocean region; one of their princesses married the first king of Ancient Cambodia, giving rise to the Cambodian people. For this reason Cambodians still consider themselves heirs of the naga.

The seven headed nagas represented in Cambodian temples, such as at Angkor Wat, represent the seven races of the naga society, which have a mythical, or symbolic, association with the seven colors of the rainbow. Additionally, Cambodian nagas possess numerological symbolisms for other numbers on their heads: odd numbers representing masculine energy, infinity, eternity, and immortality; even numbers for femininity, physicality, mortality, temporariness, and the Earth.

Legends similar to Cambodian ones are widespread among the Adivasis of South India and the aborigines of Australia; in these versions, the nagas inhabited a large continent in the Pacific Ocean (now known as the lost continent of Mu), which then sank and whose remains now form Indonesia and Australia.

These nagas would have developed an extremely advanced underground and submarine civilization with superhuman powers. Hindu mythology is one of the most complex of ancient times and demonstrates the existence of reptile-like deities that we can find in many other cultures.
