The rich adornments, sophisticated clothing, lifelike appearance, vibrant use of color, and the accurate rendition of facial and anatomical characteristics support the view that the artist drew his inspiration from the ladies of King Kasyapa's court. Depicted as supernatural beings they are portrayed with flowers to shower upon humans below. They were intended to evoke a sense of wonderment and to project the opulence and grandeur of Kasyapa, the all-powerful god-king. They are a celebration of beauty.
