Indian Cobra or the Naga: Of all the animals worshiped in India, the cobra snake has been one of the most significant symbol in Hinduism associated with wealth, power and fertility that has the longest history. Snake worship can vary from worship of the naga deities associated with water, direct worship of living snakes.
The prophesy of the Snake biting man's heel, but man crushing the Snake's head, is taken to refer to Jesus Christ's victory over the devil (and sin) on the cross. As a result, most symbolic meanings of the Snake are in a derogatory sense, both in traditional Chinese culture and Western culture. However, it's not always the case, and some symbolic meanings of the Snake are commendatory.
