In Hindu mythology, Kaliyan, the multi-headed serpent, is often identified with the character of Kaliya. According to the legends, Kaliya was a powerful serpent who inhabited the Yamuna River and terrorized the local inhabitants. In his previous birth, Kaliya was said to be a proud and arrogant king named "Naga" who was cursed to become a serpent due to his sinful deeds. The story of Kaliya's encounter with Lord Krishna is a significant part of the Bhagavata Purana.
