Hi did you notice the chataka beneath the apsara setting her long hairs? Legend has it that Chataka never drinks water off the ground and it supposedly drinks only rain water as it falls from the heavens. Here the Apsara's hair is like dark clouds that even Chataka errs and drinks water drops falling off the hair. :)
