No, that's why it's so unusual to see a mermaid in Hindu culture. Of course, they do have a lot of rivers, and who's to say there is no river mermaid? I even had a freshwater pond mermaid created for my collection :P

I don't remember the Dagon god. What story was that? I tend to like the stories ( I have three collections of his stories) that are not well know. One of them was about a sinister violinist " The Music of Erich Zann" or something like that.

don't rivers have eels and alligators?
the dagon origin is phoenician

Dagon is also the first of Lovecraft's stories to introduce a Cthulhu Mythos

Dagon, the "father of gods" similar to Mesopotamian Enlil or Hurrian Kumarbi, as well as a lord of the land, a god of prosperity, and a source of royal legitimacy
