Summary
The Rijksmuseum’s collection of Indian art contains a stone statue of an apsaras (Sanskrit for celestial nymph), the property of the Asian Art Society in the Netherlands. It is in the same place as the tenons of the pillar figures in the Lakshmana Temple, which means that the apsaras in Amsterdam was attached to the ceiling beams at the same angle of about twenty degrees to the pillar.
