Kaamdeva
Kamadeva is the God of love. Kama means desire, longing or love. Rig Veda, the most ancient of the Vedas makes a mention of his name.
Kamadeva is usually depicted as a very handsome, young man with green skin. He too wields weapons, which are as loveable as his form itself. He holds a sugarcane bow that is tied to a string of honeybees.
His arrow is also equally unique, made up of and decorated with five types of fragrant flowers - Ashoka, white lotus, blue lotus, jasmine, and mango flower. His companion and consort Rati remains the personification of desire, having her frame and limbs slender like lotus stalks.
