Apsara (mythical being)

Apsaras are mythical celestial beings found in Hindu and Buddhist traditions. They are often depicted as beautiful women who inhabit the heavens and are skilled in music, dance, and enchanting mortals. In Hindu mythology, Apsaras serve as divine entertainers in the court of the gods, and they can also be involved in significant tales, such as the creation of the universe or the interactions between gods and humans. Apsaras symbolize beauty, grace, and the irresistible allure of the ethereal, often embodying the complexities of desire and temptation in both folklore and religious narratives.
