Yakshini

Yakshini

Yakshinis or Yakshis are a class of female nature spirits in Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain religious mythologies. Yakshinis and their male counterparts, the Yakshas, are one of the many divine or semi-divine beings traditionally associated with the sacred groves of India. Yakshis are also found in the traditional legends of Northeastern Indian tribes, ancient legends of Kerala, and in the folktales of Kashmiris. Sikhism also mentions yakshas in its sacred texts. Yakshinis are different from Devas, Asuras, Gandharvas and Apsaras.
