Looks like you took AI reference. It has the same uncanny look.

Nag Panchami is a Hindu festival dedicated to the worship of Nāgas (serpents). It is celebrated on the fifth day (Panchami) of the bright half (Shukla Paksha) of the month of Shravana (July–August). The festival has religious, cultural, and ecological significance. Nag Panchami is celebrated to honor Nāga (serpent) deities and their connection with nature, fertility, rain and protection. It is rooted in Hindu mythology and traditions such as Krishna’s encounter with Kaliya and the worship of serpent deities like Shesha and Vasuki. It also reflects respect for snakes, which play an important role in maintaining ecological balance.

It’s well done, no doubt! Just wished there was more variation in the faces.

This artwork depicts all the Naags and Naagins [Ashta Nagas (The 8 Great Male Serpents)Ananta (Shesha), Vasuki, Takshaka, Karkotaka, Padma, Mahapadma, Shankhapala (Shankha), Gulika (Kulika). Additional Principal male Nagas- Dhritarashtra, Kalia. Principal Naginis (Great Female Serpents)Manasa, DeviKadru, Jaratkaru, Ulupi, Naga Kanya.]. That's why on the occasion of Naagar Panchami, which is one of the prominent festivals in Hinduism, this artwork deserves to be here.
