KAMA

In Hindu mythology, Kama is the god of love, corresponding, generally speaking, to the Greek Eros. He appears as a beautiful youth riding upon a parrot, generally carrying a bow with a string formed of bees, and having five arrows, each tipped with a flower that is supposed to have some amorous influence. Dancing girls or nymphs accompany him, and one carries his banner, the emblem on which is a fish or marine monster on a red background.
