In this episode of Storytelling With Shweta, we will hear a story about Shiva’s Snake - Vasuki, the King of the Nagas

This season of Storytelling With Shweta will be all about birds, animals and other creatures from across Indian myths!

This family-friendly story is best for all who enjoy stories from the Mahabharata, the Ramayana, Indian mythology and South Asian Folk tales about Indian Gods, Goddesses, Asuras, Yakshas and animals.

This story is closely related to the story about the ‘Churning of the Ocean’ tale that is popular across ancient Indian mythology and folklore. It also deals with myths about the Ancient Nagas.
