Description
In the Batak mythology, there is a creature in the form of a giant snake or often a giant centipede, according to some forms of Gorga (Batak term for decoration/carving on wood). This creature is called Naga Padoha or Raja Padoha.
He is the guardian of the underworld cosmos or the mystical and spirits realm in Batak cosmology. He was assigned by the Creator to disturb humans if they do not maintain the balance of the universe, also assigned to guard the spirits of the underworld.
I borrowed this underworld symbol to create a scene about entities from many beliefs whom might coexist in the death's realm. About the soul of a prophet entering the ancient nothingness and greeting its guard.
