Asian Goddesses

Apsara

Beautiful lasses. Note their voluptuousness. These are not just your girls-next-door; they are Apsara, a Asian celestial nymph. For more, see Khajuraho temple.

Devatas

These are Devatas (a sort of demigod), on the northern library of the second level, Angkor Wat, Cambodia.

Yakshini

Yakshini, another class of Asian demigoddess. This sculpture of a yakshini comes from a pillar of the railings of a stupa in Mathura, India. 2nd century, red sandstone, height: 51 cm.

It is my impression, that Asian ladies as far as feminine physical endownment is concerned, are flat in comparison to the Western blonde dolls or the Hispanic señorita. i.e. Asian girls in general have lesser breasts and hip sizes. However, India females may be a exception. It is a question, whether these ancient voluptuous sculpted lasses reflect local reality.
