An apsara is a celestial or semi-divine female figure in Hindu and Buddhist mythology, often depicted in ancient Indian art and sculpture like the 12th-century example shown here. These figures are significant in understanding the religious beliefs and artistic traditions of classical India, as they frequently appear in temple carvings and represent idealized beauty and grace in these spiritual traditions.

飛天女神（梵語：अप्सरा / apsarā）是印度神話中的女性神祇。《薄伽梵往世书》指出，飛天女神是从迦叶波和穆尼生出，《毗湿奴往世书》中搅乳海诞生了飛天女神。通常嫁给乾闥婆并隨其在天界中起舞。因陀羅因為擔心苦行者的修行，曾派飛天女神誘惑他們。
