Arjuna Enters Indra's Celestial City Amaravati

Gandharvas and Apsaras Entertain the Assembly

With Arjuna seated beside Indra, the celestial court stirs to life. Led by Tumburu, the gandharvas begin to sing and chant, and a host of apsaras — Ghritachi, Menaka, Rambha, Urvashi, and many others — rise to dance, moving in ways that steal the mind and the intelligence of even the perfected beings watching.
