Kagara is a character in Australian aboriginal mythology associated with lightning.
A traditional story tells of Kagara falling out with his brother-in-law Haunu. Kagara came to fetch his sister way and take her home, but Haunu pursued them. Haunu began to throw lightning at Karaga, but Karaga was unhurt and threw lightning back. Eventually Kagara threw black lightning at Haunu, who slowly died, thundering, while Kagara went to sleep, also thundering.[1] The story is told to young children to explain lightning and thunder during a storm.[2]
