Detailed explanation-1: -The deity of Kamadeva along with his consort Rati is included in the pantheon of Vedic-Brahmanical deities such as Shiva and Parvati. In Hindu traditions for the marriage ceremony itself, the bride’s feet are often painted with pictures of Suka, the parrot vahana of Kamadeva.
Detailed explanation-2: -As depicted in mythological texts and paintings, Lord Kamadeva is supposed to be this handsome man who has golden wings and holds a bow and arrow. He rides a parrot shaped chariot in some scriptures and an elephant in others.
Detailed explanation-3: -Garuda, the Hindu god who is part man and part bird, symbolizes the power of the sun and is known for slaying evil serpents. In art he usually appears as the mount or vehicle of Vishnu. Here Garuda carries Krishna, an avatar of Vishnu, who not only has borrowed Vishnu’s mount but also holds his war discus (chakra).
