                      As in other parts of Kumaon and Garhwal, Krishna is worshipped as Nagraja deity in Ravaeen/Ravain region of Uttarkashi and Dehradun.

                There are names for Krishna as Nagelu, Nagraja or Sinkaru Nag. Usually, the Nagraja temples are away from village in forest area.

    Sinkaru Nagraja is worshipped in Purola-Naugaon region of Uttarkashi. 

रवांइ क्षेत्र में नाग पूजा संबंधी  कहावत –Local Sayings about the worshipping o Nagraja deity 

जू ने देलो सिंकारु नाग की पूजा।
त बुरो होलो ये सरू नतीजा।।

If you don’t offer prayer/perform Nraraja rituals to Sinkaru Nag there would be bad results.
