Kaliya was the name of a poisonous Naga in Hindu Mythology that lived in the Yamuna River. Kaliya's original home was Ramanaka Dwipa but he had fled there because of his fear of Garuda. The Garuda are the same type of creature as the Guardian of the Talion which appeared in Tomb Raider II: Starring Lara Croft. In Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft, Lara ventures into some caves near the River Ganges in India that are named after Kaliya, perhaps because it may have been believed that Kaliya had once dwelled in those caves.

- Kaliya (IAST:Kāliya, Devanagari: कालिय), in Hindu mythology, was the name of a poisonous Naga living in the Yamuna River, in Vrindavan. The water of the Yamuna for four leagues all around him boiled and bubbled with poison. No bird or beast could go near, and only one solitary Kadamba tree grew on the river bank. Kāliya, recognizing the greatness of Krishna, surrendered, promising he would not harass anybody. So Krishna pardoned him and then let him go free to leave the river and go to Ramanaka Dwipa. Some identify it as Fiji.
- The Kaliya is Gaia's deathsman, one of the terrible dragon spirits of the Wani. He is called by the Nagah to punish those whose deeds have dealt the whole of Gaia a blow, like the accountables for the massacres against the Fera. It has to be noted, however, that the Kaliya only attacks individuals, whose guilt cannot be denied. Death by the fangs of the Kaliya is a slow and painful manner, the victims often take decades to die.

- The Kaliya is Gaia's deathsman, one of the terrible dragon spirits of the Wani. He is called by the Nagah to punish those whose deeds have dealt the whole of Gaia a blow, like the accountables for the massacres against the Fera. It has to be noted, however, that the Kaliya only attacks individuals, whose guilt cannot be denied. Death by the fangs of the Kaliya is a slow and painful manner, the victims often take decades to die. There are two known victims of the Kaliya: Vinata, the renegade Nagah who triggered the War of Rage, and the Black Spiral Dancer Mara the Scream, who triggered the War of Tears.
- Kaliya (IAST:Kāliya, Devanagari: कालिय), in Hindu mythology, was the name of a poisonous Naga living in the Yamuna River, in Vrindavan. The water of the Yamuna for four leagues all around him boiled and bubbled with poison. No bird or beast could go near, and only one solitary Kadamba tree grew on the river bank. The proper home of Kāliya was Ramanaka Dwipa, but he had been driven away from there by fear of Garuda, the foe of all serpents. Garuda had been cursed by a yogi dwelling at Vrindavan so that he could not come to Vrindavan without meeting his death. Therefore Kāliya chose Vrindavan as his residence, knowing it was the only place where Garuda could not come. Once Krishna and herdboys were playing ball, and while playing Krishna climbed up the Kadamba tree and hung over the river bank, the ball fell into the river and Krishna jumped after it. Kāliya rose up with his hundred and ten hoods vomiting poison and wrapped himself around Krishna's body. Krishna became so huge that Kāliya had to release him. So Krishna saved himself from every attack, and when he saw the Brij folk were so much afraid he suddenly sprang into Kāliya's head and assumed the weight of the whole universe, and danced on the naga's heads, beating time with his feet. Then Kāliya began to die. But then the naga's wives came and prayed to Krishna with joined palms, worshipping Krishna and praying for their husband. Kāliya, recognizing the greatness of Krishna, surrendered, promising he would not harass anybody. So Krishna pardoned him and then let him go free to leave the river and go to Ramanaka Dwipa. Some identify it as Fiji.
