History
<p>In Indian mythology, Karkotaka was a Naga King who lived in a forest near the Nishadha Kingdom. According to mythology, he bit Nala at the request of Indra, transforming Nala into a twisted and ugly shape. Karkotaka had deceived Narada, who cursed him with the inability to move. Karkotaka was a friend of Nala and suggested Nala to go to Rituparna, king of Ayodhya and stay with him under the alias "Bahuka".He is counted among the Eight Naga Kings in Hindu sources.</p>
