I agree sheshnaag is actual king ( real naagraaj) of all snakes but he is associated with lord Vishnu . He dedicated his life to lord Vishnu that's why passed his duties to his brother naagraj Vasuki.
I guess here is where my mythology expertise begins. Sheshnaag is the first ever Naag to be born. After him there is Vasuki, Takshak and others down from their. The first 100 naags are the first race of naags and hence first generations. Till the second generation, they had this biological ability to have a humanoid form. They're not icchadari like in the serial. They have one specific humanoid form. Icchadari refers to being able to take whatever form they like. This is a blessing Lord Shiva gave to these Naag Naagins who had been devoted to him for several years.
Naagraj Vasuki is ruling king of naag clan , snakes respect him a lot infact lord shiv is wearing naagraj Vasuki on his neck. Naagmani is under his protection not sheshnaag. As sheshnaag has Really tough job , he serves lord Vishnu , he takes birth to assist lord Vishnu & earth dont get disbalanced so he had lifted earth on his hood.
In accordance to my knowledge, most Naags live in Naaglok majorly out of fear of Garuda. Only a handful appear out of Naaglok. One, Sheshnaag who serves Lord Vishnu. Two, Vasuki who serves Lord Shiva. Out of all Naags, only Sheshnaag worships Lord Vishnu. Rest of the naag devote themselves to Lord Shiva because he offered them his protection.
About being rulers of Naaglok, each clan has one king. Like Takshak is also the naagraj of one tribe of Naags. In Mahabharata, Kauravya is also refered as Naagraj of his tribe of Nagas. His daughter Ulupi marries Arjun. So, there is no one ultimate Naagraj as such. Sheshnaag and Vasuki are generally refered as Naagraj because they're the most powerful of all Naags and the eldest ones. Also, because their position of superiority that they serve the Gods.
I know they glorify naagrani in d serial but naag clan is ruled by naagraj not naagrani .
Naagraj and Naagrani are set on the same grounds. Naag clan is ruled by both of them. Naagrani takes up the duty in absence of Naagraj.
