Who is Urvashi?
Urvashi is an Apsara in Hindu legend. She was a celestial maiden in Indra's court and was considered the most beautiful of all the Apsaras.
She became the wife of king Pururavas, an ancient chief of the lunar race. ShBr 11.5.1, and treated in Kalidasa's drama Vikramōrvaśīyam.
She is perennially youthful and infinitely charming but always elusive. She is a source as much of delight as of dolour.
