ok, that's enough examples of followers. 
now, on to Omata's servants. these are more like personal servants that go out and do things for him. either individuals, or special units or armies, or a personal retinue, or what have you. one good example is the Spectrum, above. maybe one more good example would be all we need, and even that might not be necessary.
after that, we will stat out Omata, then his cultists and servants.
so, if you like that part better, then stick around.

how's this?
Omata’s cult is a small one. His worshippers consist mostly of jungle and rainforest dwellers. Quite a few psionics revere him, and humans, elves, and couatls often see him as the patron of thoughts and the mind. His followers are usually psions, psychic warriors, clerics, adepts, paladins, and druids. Some desert dwelling tribes are also known to worship him as a life giver, and pray to him for rain.
Omata is commonly worshipped in clearings in the trees, though it is not uncommon to find an old overgrown ruin dedicated to him. His major rituals take place during, or right after a rain storm, or at early morning to end a drought. Rituals also take place at the start of a rainy season, which is a holy time for Omata and his cult. This season is celebrated with a festive gathering, with a massive feast at the culmination of the first rainstorm.

Just one thing on rituals and ceremonies. I would think nothing more idyllic when worshipping a water snake-diety, than a small shrine behind a waterfall.
Perhaps all rituals of Omata must be done to the sound of dripping water. A nearby waterfall, rain or even an artificial waterfall would provide the required enviroment. Imagine a jungle temple, with an aqueduct carrying water from a nearby river with the sole purpose of supplying the temples artificial waterfall, which drops down into a moat which sorrounds the central shrine. The shrine is a stone platform, elevated above the water and connected with rope-bridge to the sorrounding terrain. All non-clerics stand on the other side of the moat when observing the ceremonies and rituals.
