The term literally means the " The dance of the enchantress". Mohini is the enchantress.There are two stories in our mythology which throw some light to the naming of this artform.In both Lord Vishnu is disguised as Mohini.In one Lord appears as Mohini to lure the asuras{Demons}away from the amrita{nectar of immortality} obtained during the churning of palazhi{Ocean of milk}.
