💨 Abstract

Devi Mohini, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, took the female form to distribute the elixir of life during the Samudra Manthana. She also seduced Lord Shiva and appeared as an apsara in various folktales. Mohini is known for her ability to change gender and enrich Hindu folklore. Her name means 'erotic magic' or 'spell', and she represents the illusion and trappings of the material world.
