An apsara relief from Angkor Wat, Cambodia

In Hinduism, the Apsaras (also Vrikshakas) are nature spirits, all the female wives of the Gandharvas. They danced to the music made by their husbands, usually in the various gods' palaces.

Apsaras are often depicted in Buddhist art as far afield as Cambodia and China, however.
