Did you know that #India has an equivalent to Cupid?
Kamadeva is the #god of #desire. He is a beautiful man, friends with #bees & parrots, & he shoots arrows tipped with fragrant #flowers.
Kama is not fully good, however.
As he stirs lust, he'll sometimes pester wise men, so that they won't become #divine.
When he foolishly disturbs god Shiva, he's incinerated. Goddess Parvati asks for his resurrection, & he becomes a spring breeze.
