EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century print depicts Kamadeva, the Hindu god of human desire, in his traditional form. Kamadeva, also known as Kama, Ragavrinta, Ananga, Kandarpa, Manmatha, Manasija, Madana, Ratikanta, Pushpavan, and Pushpadhanva, is often represented as a handsome, young man riding on a white goad bird named Garuda. In his left hand, he holds a bow, and in his right, an arrow tipped with the flower of love, the mohana-phala. The god is adorned with a crown of flowers and jewels, and his face is filled with the intense passion and desire that he embodies. Kamadeva is an essential deity in Hinduism, responsible for igniting the flames of love and desire in the hearts of humans. He is believed to have the power to disrupt the deepest meditations and even the most focused minds, reminding us of the importance of love and passion in our lives. This beautiful print, created around 1869, is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of India. It provides a glimpse into the spiritual beliefs and practices of the past, offering a window into the depth and complexity of Hinduism. The intricate details of the god's attire, the delicate feathers of the bird, and the vibrant colors used in the print all contribute to its timeless beauty and appeal. As we gaze upon this image of Kamadeva, we are reminded of the power of love and desire to transform our lives and bring us closer to the divine. Whether used as a decorative piece or as a source of inspiration, this print is a valuable addition to any collection of Hindu art or religious artifacts.
