TILOTTAMA « Shiva’s third eye » (“Le troisième oeil de Shiva”) & NIRUPAMA “The unrivalled” (“L’incomparable”) 
•Tilottama In the Hindu epic Mahabharata, Tilottama is described to have been created by the divine architect Vishwakarma, at Brahma's request, by taking the best quality of everything as the ingredients. She was responsible for bringing about the mutual destruction of the Asuras (demons), Sunda and Upasunda. Even gods like Shiva and Indra are described to be enamoured of Tilottama. Brahma sends Tilottama to Mount Kailash, the abode of Shiva, to pay her obeisance to him. Shiva glances at her, but avoids to carefully look at her as his consort Parvati was seated beside him. As Tilottama circumambulated Shiva, he develops a head in each direction to see her. Agitated, Parvati covers Shiva's eyes with her hands submerging the universe in darkness. Shiva then develops a third eye to bring light to the universe.
•Both female spirits of the clouds and waters in Hindu and Buddhist mythology, the Apsaras are beautiful, supernatural female beings. They are youthful and elegant, and superb in the art of dancing. Hindu scriptures allow for the existence of numerous Apsaras, who act as the handmaidens of Indra or as dancers at his celestial court.
