Naga in Sanskrit means snake or serpent and so it's believed the earlier Nagas worshipped the snake..

The Nagas were a royal family of ancient central India and at their height ruled Vidisha,Padmavati,Kantipur and Mathura their capital being Padmavati Pawaya in modern day Madhya Pradesh in the Gwalior district.
