About Gandharvas

[Guest guest]

Excerpt from:

http://www.siamese-dream.com/reference/gandharvas.html

The Gandharvas were the mates of the Apsaras, and are considered spirits of the

air, forests, and mountains. They are male, and have been described in different

ways. Sometimes they were seen as dirty creatures who were part man and part

animal; other times they were men with birds' legs and wings. They could be

half man and half horse, or sometimes were seen as fair men who had effeminate

features. They were known for their musical skills, their power to cast

illusions, and their skill with horses.
