Dhakhan
 | This article relies largely or entirely on a single source. (November 2024) |
In Gubbi Gubbi mythology, Dhakhan is an ancestral spirit. He is described as a giant serpent with the tail of a giant fish. He often appears as a rainbow, as this is his way of travelling between the watering holes which are his homes.[1] He is also the creator of the snakes and serpents that live within the waterholes.
