Singa is an apotropaic figure from the mythology of the Batak people of North SumatraIndonesia. The singa represents a benevolent and protective power. The word singa is derived from the Sanskrit singa, "lion". The Batak term of singa has a predominantly magical, rather than zoological, so singa does not symbolize a lion. Instead, the singa represents the Nāga or Boru Saniang Naga, the primeval water serpent from the Hindu-Buddhist mythology.

excuse me, I'm from Italy but I'm studying Indonesia. Can you say me if Uli Boru Sinaga is a Goddess?
I have found another name, Djata, in Dajak mithology. Do you know if Djata is the name for the Goddess of the underworld, river or crocodiles?
