According to mythological legends, Lord Kamadev was Lord Vishnu and Goddess Laxmi’s son. He had married the Goddess of infatuation and lust, Goddess Rati. However, some stories suggest that he was the son of Lord Brahma and that he also had some relation with Lord Shiva.

Like Lord Krishna, Lord Ganesha and Lord Shiva, Lord Kamadeva too has many names. They are Manmath, Mansija, Gandharv, Arthdev, Madonna, Ratikant, Ananga, Kandarp, Ragavrunt etc. Sometimes he is also addressed as Yaksha.

As depicted in mythological texts and paintings, Lord Kamadeva is supposed to be this handsome man who has golden wings and holds a bow and arrow. He rides a parrot shaped chariot in some scriptures and an elephant in others.

As per the legend, Kamadev carries a honey soaked and sugar coated bowstring while the arrows are decorated with flowers. He carries 5 arrows with him namely: Ummadan, Shoshan, Jrumbhan, Maran and Stambhan.

Lord Kamadeva is worshiped on Vasant Panchami, spring time, which is why his arrows are adorned with flowers as per legends. His arrows, when released, do not make a single sound because of the flowers.

Going by Mudgal Purana, Kamadev lives in all seductive things. All those things that fill us with carnal desire and lust, are Kamadev’s doings.
