Apsara named Tilottama
Tilottama is an apsara described in Hindu mythology. Tila is the Sanskrit word for sesame seed or a bit and Uttama means better or higher. Tilottama is therefore means the being whose smallest particle is the finest.
In Mahabharat, it is described as Tilottama is created by divine architect, Vishwakarma. It is said that he created her on request of God Brahma , by taking finest particle of everything.
Long ago, there was a demon king named Nikumbh. He had 2 children named Sunda and Upasunda. They are described as inseperable siblings who shared everything between them like kingdom, bed , food . Once the brothers performed meditation so that God Brahma will grant them a boon.
The brothers asked for immortality with the God but Brahma granted them a boon that only they, themselves can hurt each other and no other. Soon, demons attacked heaven and started harassing sages and people. They had become invincible.
Soon, people prayed God against them. Brahma ordered Vishwakarma to create a beautiful woman. Thus , he created Tilottama. Brahma ordered her to seduce the demon brothers so that she can become the issue of contention between them.
Tilottama appeared infront of demons. Both demons were lured by her beauty and both of them held her right and left hand and argued her that she must become his own wife. Thus, fight started between them and it ended by the death of demons.
