The paths of sages and apsaras often crossed, with apsaras being sent to distract sages from their meditation, and sages blessing or cursing apsaras for their actions.  Amar Chitra Katha brings you Sages and Apsaras, a collection of some of our existing titles. The stories of Sage Agastya, Sage Vishwamitra, and the apsaras Urvashi and Hothal are a representation of the duality in our world – while some seek greatness by giving up pleasures, for some others the same pleasure is a duty assigned to them as a pre-set destiny.
