Description Idea taken from story from Hindu mythology regarding the Naga serpent goddess Manasa.

Manasa descended to earth to obtain human devotees. She was initially mocked by the people but then forced them to worship her by raining calamity on those who denied her power.

This scene depicts her seeking to convert the Muslim ruler Hasan.

Rudz, you are correct sir. Nagas have often been depicted in mythological descriptions as having a serpent's body and snakes for hair like Medusa. I went with hair snakes 'cause I thought it made the composition more interesting. But there's no denying the similarity.
