🕉️ DevataFestival: Vasant Panchami / Holi

Lord Kamadeva कामदेव

Consort: Rati

Lord Kamadeva is the Hindu god of love + desire + spring season. Equivalent to Greek Cupid + Roman Eros but with deeper philosophical significance — embodies the cosmic principle that desire (kama) is necessary for creation. Wields a sugarcane bow with bowstring of bees + 5 arrows of flower types. Worshipped especially during Holi (his story closely tied) + Vasant Panchami. Famous Mahabharata story: Shiva burnt Kamadeva to ashes for disturbing his meditation, then revived him at Rati request.
