Renowned artist Ramesh captures the essence of the Vedic God Kamadeva in a mesmerizing Tanjore painting. With intricate details and vibrant hues, the artwork beautifully portrays Kamadeva, the God of Love, adorned with celestial attributes. The piece is skillfully framed, enhancing its visual appeal and cultural significance.

In Hindu iconography, this representation of Kamadeva pulling five arrows with a bow made from a sugarcane branch and riding a parrot vehicle made from human figures carries symbolic significance.

Each arrow represents one of the five senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell). Kamadeva, as the god of love and desire, influences these senses, illustrating his power to evoke love and attraction. The sugarcane bow symbolizes the sweetness of love and desire. It reflects the idea that the emotion of love, like sugarcane, is delightful and can bring joy and fulfillment. Kamadeva's choice of a parrot as a vehicle is rich in symbolism. Parrots are known for their association with love and passion in Hindu literature. The use of human figures in the parrot vehicle may symbolize the diverse aspects and forms of human emotions and relationships that Kamadeva governs.
