Apsara as a Sidhe equivalent

by Marc Saindon

A quick idea on how to expand Sind by adding its Feywild/Good Kingdom counterpart, which you call "the Maya", with celestial maidens known as the Apsara playing a role similar to the Sidhe, along with their male Gandharva counterpart. Perhaps they are tied to artistic endeavour, and increase in rank if their particular song or dance is popularized in Sind (and beyond), giving encounters a Bollywood feel. (Remember, Sind is pulp & pastiche India, not a term paper on actual Hinduism)

Apsara
Gandharva
Maya (religion)
