Narayana, the Seven-Headed Serpent
Seven cobra heads spread above a coiled serpent, each hood carrying small markings. The source caption identifies Narayana and associates the design with creator and creation. A Churchward signature appears beside the coils. The drawing forms part of the book’s symbolic comparisons; it is an illustration of a religious emblem rather than evidence for a lost continent.
