Apsara

Apsaras are beautiful, heavenly dancers who entertain in the Court of the Heavens.

History
Apsaras often the wives of heavenly musicians. In Hindu myths, apsaras are usually sent on errands by Lord Indra to break the meditation of sages who are getting a little too powerful. It’s pretty hard to keep meditating when a celestial nymph starts dancing in front of you.
