‘Nattar’ in South Indian historical context, particularly in the Chola period and earlier, refers to the assembly or leaders of a ‘Nadu’, which was a rural administrative unit. They were involved in local administration, land management, and social affairs. A male serpent deity is typically referred to as Naga devata or similar terms related to serpents (Naga).
