For Concert Band
In Laos, the mythical serpent-like creature called Phaya Naga is believed to reside in the Mekong River, protecting the locals. Sightings have been reported, and thanksgiving celebrations are held on the river to honor the Naga. In Thailand, the Kamchanod Forest is considered its home, believed to be the border between the human world and the netherworld. Both Lao and Thai people attribute the fireball phenomenon on the Mekong River to the Naga, along with reports of unnatural waves and marks on cars.
The Phaya Naga, or Naga, is a supernatural water serpent deeply embedded in Lao culture, especially in Vientiane, where they are seen as ancient protectors. Originating from Hindu and Buddhist mythology, Nagas control rivers, rainfall, and soil fertility, crucial for agriculture in Laos. They are kind and protective but can cause natural disasters if not honored properly.
The Mekong River Dragon is another name for the Naga, often depicted as a multi-headed serpent capable of transforming into human form. A powerful seven-headed Naga is believed to protect Vientiane, residing under the Black Stupa. According to legend, this Naga last appeared during the Siamese invasion of 1827 to protect the city, and it is now believed to be able to summon an army of water serpents to defend against future threats.
