Listen "The Naga Serpent in Malay Divination"
Episode Synopsis
Farouk Yahya speaks at the Southeast Asia Seminar on 17 January 2018 The naga is a deified serpent that is a major part of the belief system of many South and Southeast Asian cultures. It is a chthonic creature, and is very strongly associated with rain and water. In Southeast Asia it plays an important role in divinatory practices for activities such as house-building, travelling and marriage. This seminar will explore the variety of texts and images relating to the naga as found in Malay divination manuscripts from the late 18th - early 20th century.
