Lord Kamdev is the Hindu god of love. Kamdev is symbolized as a young
and good looking man with wings who possesses bow and arrows. According
to Shivpuran, Kamdev is a son meaning a creation of Bramha, creator of
the universe. According to Hindu mythology Kamdeva is a brother of
Prasuti, they both are children of Shatarupa, also a creation of Bramha.
Lord Kamdev's bow is made of sugarcane with honeybees sitting on it. The
arrows are beautifully decorated with five kinds of sweet smelling
flowers. The string of the bow is made of a chain of honeybees. Parrot,
cuckoo and humming bees are his companions.
