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.
The Apsara was associated with fertility rites.
The Apsara were very beautiful and sometimes lured men to their deaths.
Apsaras are often depicted in Buddhist art as far afield as Cambodia and China, however.
