Apalala, the Water Dragon of #Gandhara who lived during the time of Buddha was intially saviour of Swat valley but laterly became sign of destruction for his own people.
According to the legend originally he was born as a man named Gangi along the banks of Suvastu/Swat River.
He used subtle charms to restrain the power of the wicked dragons in the region so that they could not afflict the crops with violent storms. The people of his land were grateful for his protection because now their crops were healthy, abundant and save from evil dragons.
Because of his protection for villagers and their crops, people started to pay him tribute by giving grains every year.
However, after many years passed, many forgot or refused to pay the tribute, and Gangi became wrathful.
