In Hindu mythology, Kamadeva is the God of love and desire, often depicted as a young winged man with a bow and arrows made of flowers. He is the Hindu equivalent of Cupid or Eros in Western mythology. Krishna, Shiva, and Kartikeya are major deities but they are not specifically the gods of love - Krishna is associated with divine love and devotion, Shiva is the destroyer/transformer, and Kartikeya is the god of war.
