Gondhorbo Badok

 

Gondhorbo or Gandharva is a class of celestial beings in Hindu religion. They usually live in Indralok or court of Indra (the king of Gods). They also have their own realm, called the Gandharvaloka. The males are divine performers such as musicians and singers, and the females are divine dancers. In Hinduism, they are regarded to be the celestial demigods. While the male are called Gondhorbo, the females are called Gondhorbi. Sometimes they are also believed as husbands of Apsaras- the divine dancers of Indralok.

This is inspired from a defaced terracotta panel of a temple in Bengal.
