Kamadeva is the Hindu Deity of love. Kama Deva literally means 'divine love' or 'god of love'. He is normally depicted as a young and handsome winged man who wields a bow and arrows. Kamdev is known by several names like Ragavrinta, Ananga, Kandarpa, Manmatha, Manasija, Madana, Ratikanta, Pushpavan, Pushpadhanva or simply Kama. The story of the birth of Kamadeva is told differently in several Puranas. In some stories Kamadeva is said to be the son of Goddess Mahalakshmi and in others he is said to be the mind born son of Lord Brahma. He is also the husband of Rati the Goddess of Beauty and is also said to be an incarnation of Pradyumna, a son of Krishna by Rukmini. The vaishnavites believe that he is Krishna himself. The basis of the story is that after Kamadeva was burned to ashes by Shiva because of his anger the cupid god merged into the body of Vasudeva Krishna and in order to get his body again he was placed in the womb of Rukmini.
