Pretty happy how this one turned out. Despite the setting sun, and the shadows visible in the pictures and the model, it turned out satisfactory.

Description
Naga, in Hinduism and Buddhism, is the Sanskrit word for a deity taking the form of a great snake, specifically the multi-headed king cobra. The traditions about nagas are common in all the Buddhist countries in Asia. The Buddhist naga has the form of a great cobra, usually depicted with a single head but sometimes with many heads. The naga which is seen sheltering the Buddha while meditating is known as Mucilanda. Mucilanda is believed to have protected the Buddha from the elements like rain and storm after he attained enlightenment.
Literary side note: The two cobras in Rikki Tikki Tavi are called Nag and Nagaina.
