The throne has 32 statues, who are actually apsaras (a female spirit) that had been turned into stone due to a curse. Each of the apsaras tells Bhoja a story about the life and adventures of Vikramaditya, in order to convince him that he is not deserving of Vikramaditya's throne. Condition: A good copy.
