Description

The word ‘Apsara’ is formed of ‘Ap(water)’ and ‘Sara(way or flow)’. So ‘Apsara’ is the personification of mists and clouds in form of a beauteous damsel. The first ‘Apsara’, Rambha, appeared at the churning of the ocean but since neither gods nor asuras would espouse her, Indra took her and her companions to his heaven ‘Svarga’, where they became the common property of the dwellers and were the female counterparts of ‘Gandharvas’, the divine musicians.
