The term Apsara has been translated into the English language as "nymph", "celestial nymph" and "celestial maiden". It is also said that the original Apsaras were the wives of the Gandharvas, the male nature spirits who were the court servants of Indra. The Apsaras purportedly performed their ritualistic dance as the Gandharvas played heavenly music for their gods in their grand chateaus. In many respects, the Gandharvas were similar to the centaurs of Greek mythology because they were part human and part animal.
