Hi friends!  

Deep expression-beauty will save the world! Apsary is another proof of that. Unearthly beauty dancing maidens amaze with their beauty and grace. An Apsara is a celestial dancer who came to us from the Indian tradition. The most interesting presentation of the ideal beauty, shapes and attire. Take a close look at all the pictures below. The ideal shape of faces, lips, eyes, eyebrows, the shape is incredibly beautiful! You also need to pay attention to hats and jewelry, facial expressions.

The apsaras were excellent pilots flying chariots, and participated in the wars. They lived in the fairy groves on the mountains of Meru in the Kingdom of Indra. In the epic "Mahabharata" they were the wives of the Gandharvas.

Flying goddess, possessed magic powers. They could change their appearance, take different forms and move freely in space. But the image of dancing half-naked women, in beautiful thin fabrics with expensive jewelry is the most frequent description of apsar.

In some epics, apsar is divided into divine, who served the gods, as well as worldly, who seduced people. Even Rishi had lost his head from the beauty of the apsaras, then turned to the mortals.

The photographs show apsar bas-reliefs from the temples of Cambodia (Angkor Wat) and frescoes in Sigiriya rock in Sri Lanka. All monuments are protected by UNESCO.

In many entertaining institutions of India, Sri Lanka, Cambodia in restaurants still dance divine maidens in beautiful dresses.

This beautiful Apsara on the wall in Sigiriya is a symbol of Sinhala beauty. We have long been conquered by this beauty, so we bought a tapestry with a copy of the rock fresco.

Tapestry with copy.

In Sigiriya Apsara-is the most important attraction. More than 500 full-length celestial virgins were painted by the artist, but very few survived... Below are some of the paintings.

Frescoes of celestial dancers are in the caves of Western India (V-VI centuries) in Ajanta. In South India in Alaskana preserved statues and bas-reliefs of apsaras (950-1050). in the temples of Khajuraho. In China, the apsaras can be found in Longmen grottoes. On the island of Java there are also bas-reliefs of heavenly beauties in the temple of Borobudur. Central India is also rich in Apsara (XIII-IX centuries.), for example, cave temple in Kailash.

  Thank you for your attention! Today is another wonderful day! All good sentiments!
