Chibi Kama Dev, God of Love with his Parrot
Chibi Kama Dev, God of Love with his Parrot
The sculpture depicts Kama Deva, the god of love in Hindu mythology, reimagined in the whimsical Chibi style. The figure exhibits exaggerated and endearing features characteristic of Chibi, such as a large head, big expressive eyes, and a compact body. Kama Deva stands gracefully on a delicately sculpted lotus base, emphasizing purity and spiritual ascension. In his hands, he wields a distinctive bow made of sugarcane, symbolizing the sweet and enticing nature of love. The sugarcane bow is strung with an arrow, its tip adorned with a flower, further emphasizing the gentle and benevolent power of romantic attraction. By his side is his loyal vehicle, a charmingly rendered parrot. The parrot, with its round and plump form, complements the overall cute aesthetics of the sculpture. The presence of the bird resonates with Kama Deva's association with communication and vocal expression in matters of the heart.
