Manohara

Manohara is the kinnari (half-woman, half-bird) heroine of one of the Jataka tales. Typically referred to as Manohara and Prince Sudhana,[1] the legend appears in the Divyavadana and is documented by stone reliefs at Borobodur.[2][3] Versions of the story are reported in the literature of Southeast Asian countries, and similar stories about a bird maiden and a mortal man can be found in East Asia.
