A female naga is called a Nagi, or a Nagini. According to legend, they are the children of the sage Kashyapa and Kadru.

Narratives of these beings hold cultural significance in the mythological traditions of many South Asian and Southeast Asian cultures, and within Hinduism and Buddhism, they are the ancestral origins of the Nagavanshi Kshatriyas.
