Vidyadharas are semi divine beings mentioned in the Hindu
scriptures. Some scholars are of the view that they are a semi-divine group of
tribal people inhabiting the Himalayas especially the region near the source of
Ganga River . According to the Brahma Purana,
Sudras who worshipped the Narasimha Avatar of Vishnu attained the status of
Vidyadharas.
Vidyadharas are handsome and always roam along with their
beautiful female partners – who are referred as Vidyadharis. The females are
adorned with ornaments and flowers. The male members roam in the sky and on
earth with swords. Flowers and garlands are constantly associated with this
class of divine beings.
Information about Vidyadharas is found mainly in the Vishnudharmottar
Purana.
Their king was Chitrakuta who had a Devaratha. Mahabharata
mentions that they were ruled by Chakradharaman.
