Kinnaree Manorah was a princess of Thai legend, the youngest of the seven Kinnaree daughters of King Prathum and Queen Jantakinnaree. She lived in the mythical kingdom of Mount Grairat. The Seven Kinnaree appeared as half-woman half half-swan. They could fly or shed their wings to assume human form as they pleased. In Buddhist mythology and Hindu mythology, a Kinnaree is a paradigmatic lover, a celestial musician, half-human creature. Their character is clarified in the Adi Parva of the Mahabharata, where they say: We are everlasting lovers and beloved.
