A lot of people don’t know, but today at Madana Trayodashi is a day dedicated to Kamadeva, the God of desire and love, son of Vishnu and Lakshmi (yes They have children) it was a great festival in Ancient India, one of the traditions that unfortunately lost, texts such as the Nilmata Purana describe the festival, which takes place in spring in the northern hemisphere. He is very handsome, being a beacon of beauty, is married to Daksha’s daughter Rati, capricorn is His symbol, sugar cane is His bow, flowers are His arrows, drones are His bowstring . Vasanta, the god of spring, is his general, while beautiful women are his army. So may Kamadeva fill your life with love and desire… -- source link
