Drawing from myths, legends, folktales, local beliefs and retellings from the epics, twenty-two diverse voices breathe life into the stories of lesser-known celestial women - the Apsaras, Yakshinis, Gandharvis, Nagas, Yoginis and more. These varied forms of the Devi are powerful guardians of people, forests, mountains and river valleys, whose presence is woven into the very soil and spirit of the subcontinent.
