Apsara (mythological celestial nymph)

In Hindu and Buddhist mythology, an Apsara is a celestial nymph or spirit known for her beauty, grace, and artistic skills. Often depicted as dancers, Apsaras inhabit the heavens and are associated with pleasure, love, and the enchanting aspects of nature. They play significant roles in various myths and legends, often enchanting gods and heroes. Apsaras embody the ideal of feminine beauty and are sometimes sent to Earth to distract or seduce, adding richness to the narratives of divine and human interactions in ancient texts.
