Manasa, the serpent goddess, is known for her ill-temper and vengeful nature. Unlike other deities, Manasa was first denied the status of a full god because of her mixed parentage and she had to do a lot of hardship to establish herself as a goddess in heaven. She is kind and generous towards people who worship her, and unkind towards those who refuse to do so. Goddess Manasa is also called the destroyer of poison.
