They were devoted to Kali, a Hindu goddess associated with violence, sexuality, and more recently, empowerment..The Thugs would join travellers and gain their confidence. This would allow them to then surprise and strangle their victims by pulling a handkerchief or noose tight around their necks. The killings were performed in honour of the Hindu goddess Kali and were very ritualistic...
The term Thuggee is derived from Hindi word ठग, or ‹ Tfd›ṭhag, which means "thief".. Related words are the verb thugna, "to deceive", from Sanskrit स्थग ‹See Tfd›sthaga "cunning, sly, fraudulent, dishonest, scoundrel", from स्थगति ‹See Tfd›sthagati "he conceals".. This term for a particular kind of murder and robbery of travellers is popular in South Asia and particularly in India.The earliest recorded mention of the Thugs as a special band or fraternity, rather than as ordinary thieves, is found in the following passage of Ziau-d din Barni's History of Firoz Shah (written about 1356)..
Thuggee is described as a cult of people engaged in Mass Murder.. The modus operandi was to join a caravan and become accepted as bona-fide travellers themselves. The Thugs would need to delay any attack until their fellow travellers had dropped the initial wariness of the newcomers and had been lulled into a false sense of security, gaining their trust. Once the travellers had allowed the Thugs to join them and disperse amongst them - a task which might sometimes, depending on the size of the target group, require accompaniment for hundreds of miles - the Thugs would wait for a suitable place and time before killing and robbing them...

The worship of serpent deities is present in several old cultures, particularly in religion and mythology, where Snakes were seen as entities of strength and renewal..Snake worship refers to the high status of snakes or (nagas) in Hindu mythology. ‹See Tfd›Nāga (Sanskrit:नाग) is the Sanskrit and Pāli word for a deity or class of entity or being, taking the form of a very large snake boris, found in Hinduism and Buddhism.. The use of the term nāga is often ambiguous, as the word may also refer, in similar contexts, to one of several human tribes known as or nicknamed "Nāgas"; to elephants; and to ordinary snakes, particularly the King Cobra and the Indian Cobra, the latter of which is still called nāg in Hindi and other languages of India...
Ancient Mesopotamians and Semites believed that snakes were immortal because they could infinitely shed their skin and appear forever youthful, appearing in a fresh guise every time..
