How the God of Love Challenged

In Hindu mythology, Shiva burnt Kamadeva (also known as Kamdev) to ashes because Kamadeva disrupted Shiva's deep meditation by shooting his love arrows at him, causing Shiva to open his third eye, which is a fiery power that instantly incinerates anything it looks upon; essentially, Shiva was angered by the interruption to his ascetic state and used his third eye to destroy Kamadeva as a consequence.
Key points about the story:
Kamadeva's role:
Kamadeva is the Hindu god of love and desire, and his arrows are meant to inspire love in anyone they hit.
Shiva's meditation:
Shiva is often depicted as a meditating ascetic, and any disturbance to his deep meditation is considered a serious offense.
The third eye:
Shiva's third eye is a powerful symbol of destruction and is considered to be a potent weapon.

Correct your Thumbnail.
Kaamdev is not God of Love. He is God of Lust and Desires.

It’s correct. Kamdev is the only hindu god of erotic love, desire, pleasure and beauty
