A renowned king of a
royal family tracing their ancestors to the moon in Hindu mythology.
Pururavas is a good king who conducts one hundred horse
sacrifices (ashvamedha) and gains immense power as a result of them.
He is most famous for his relationship with Urvashi, a
heavenly nymph (apsara) with whom he had multiple offspring.
Despite being separated for sixty years due to a curse, the
two are joyfully reunited in the end.
