Kamadeva shooting his love-arrow at Shiva

Kama (Cupid), the God of Love and Sexuality. He is also known as Manmada, Madhana, Kandarpa, Ananga, was one of the mind-born son of Lord Brahma Dev. Some accounts say he was mind-born son of Lord Vishnu. Rathi was his consort.

"Śiva meditating. Śiva sits on a tiger skin meditating beneath a banyan tree in a hilly landscape.

His knees are bound by a yogapatta. 

In his upper right hand he carries a damaru, in his upper hand the mriga (Indian antelope), his lower right hand carries the rudrakshamala and the lower left rests on his flexed knee. 

The god wears the usual ornaments, particularly elaborate here are his epaulettes. An angavastra is draped on his shoulders and his third eye is clearly open. 

His wife Parvati feels neglected and so she commands a diminutive green-complexioned Kama (located to the right of the god), who kneels on his parrot-drawn chariot while aiming his flowery arrow of love at the meditating god. 

Angry at being disturbed Śiva opens his third eye in anticipation of destroying the hapless messanger. 

Great care has been taken in the depiction of the sugar cane bow with its string of honeybees, as well as in that of the lotus-tipped arrow of the god. 

His arrows are decorated with five kinds of fragrant flowers.

The flowers on his arrows are: Aravinda(White Lotus), Ashoka, Cuta(Mango Flower), Navamalika(Jasmine) and Nilotpala(Blue Lotus). Also known as Unmada, Tapana, Shoshana, Stambhana and Sammohana.

Kamadeva has five arrows which are sometimes associated with five effects that desire has on one afflicted by it. Kamadeva's five arrows are said to be fascination, disturbance, burning, dessication and destruction.

Noteworthy is the Vaishnava namam on Kama's forehead and arms. 

The foreground is enlivened by rolling hills and tufts of grass."

Mother-Goddess Brahmani Seated in Yogic Posture Holding Water Pot, 1201, Art Institute of Chicago: Asian Art

This tantric Hindu female goddess is usually part of a set of seven mother goddesses (Brahmani, Vaishnavi, Maheshvari, Indrani, Kaumari, Varahi and Chamunda) called matrikas, but she is also revered as a goddess in her own right. The matrikas are the female shaktis (power, energy) of the male gods, and Brahmani is the shakti of the creator god Brahma. Like Brahma, she is typically shown with four heads (with the fourth one understood to be at the back), symbolizing omniscience, the four sacred scriptures (Vedas), the four castes, or the four time cycles (yugas). As a sage or female yogi, she often holds a rosary, and a water pot (kamandalu), and she sits in the yogic pose with a strap (yogapatta) to hold her legs in position. In Nepal, she is frequently depicted as here, with one head and two arms, instead of the multi-headed and multi-armed versions of the goddess in India. Gift of Marilynn B.
