1 Tilottama is described as one of the most beautiful celestial nymph (Apsara) in Hindu scriptures.

2 It is mentioned in Mahabharata that she was brought into existence by Lord Vishwakarma at the request of Lord Brahma from the best quality of everything.

3 The other scriptures suggest that she was composed by using all of the finest and divine ingredients.

4 Her name finds its roots from two Sanskrit words; "Tila" that stands for a bit and "Uttama" meaning of finest or highest quality.

5 The famous legend from Hindu mythologies state that Sunda and Upasunda were the wicked Asuras (demons) who created havoc in the world.

6 The Demigods were attacked by these brothers and were thrown out of their celestial city.

7 That’s when Indra and the other Demigods sent the Apsara Tilottama to distract them. Both the Asuras desperately wanted to possess her.

8 Tilottama desired for the strongest partner and demanded them to show their strength on each other.

9 The brothers didn’t want to lose her and got involved in an aggressive match. At the end the brothers ended up killing each other at the feet of Tilottama.

10 Thus she is considered responsible for the mutual destruction of the demon brothers. To get more Indian Cultural videos stay Tuned to Artha Channel
