I am not confirm that the medium may be tempera, without undercoat.

doesnt manmatha supposed to have 5 arrow and not three ccan anybody explain

This is beautiful! As I have shared before, your work to bring this out for the public to enjoy is absolutely wonderful!! May the Narayana's blessings be with you on this Vaikunta Ekadasi day!! Would you also have a similar one of Rati?

Manmata's distinguishing features are the bow of sugar-cane stalk, a bunch of Five kinds of flowers as arrows, Fish as his flag Symbol and Makara( mythical crocodile) as his carrier and Rati as his consort. But in this painting the bunch of arrows appear to contain only three and the Flag also seems to be absent.

Makara is not Manmatha's vehicle, but his banner carried by another being with the head of a horse. His chariot is the parrot.

Yes sir, You are right. Some time fish is used a flag symbol and Makahra as Flag carrier. It was used in that context as described by Swami Harshananda in his " A concise encyclopaedia of Hinduism" . But I think it does give a wrong impression that the word carrier as a Vehicle.

Thank you for your kind words Jay Shankar!

Raja Chandra: Thank you Sir!…for elaborating on the iconography of Manmatha. Amazing information...

Here Manmtha also known as Kama is described as son of Vishnu and husband of Rati. He is golden in complexion and is having two eyes and two hands. He is adorned with divine ornaments and his arrows are made of special flowers and bow made of cane. His is mounted on Parrot as his Vehicle . Hari Hara Bramha and others are bowing to him and the three worlds are fascinated by his presence. He is of Golden Complexion but according to some sources he is of green colour also.

Yes Mr. Chandra, Manmatha is depicted in either of those two forms, though many of the iconographic forms that I have come across depict him with two arms, alongside Rati. In the eight-armed version, four of them, as has been stated by you, rest on the bosoms of his consorts while the other four is said to carry the conch, disk/lotus, bow and arrow. In this form, his emblem is the fish, and not the makara. Also called Kamadeva or Pradyumna, he is supposed to be the son of Krishna and Vishnu. Pradyumna, though, is represented (as per the Agni Purana) as the figure of Vishnu holding the Conch, Mace, Lotus and Disk clockwise beginning with his upper right hand.

ಕೇತೌ ತು ಮಕರಃ ಕಾರ್ಯಾಃ... This is from the original text inscribed in the painting itself.

I see. Vishnudharmottara Purana has the banner of the eight-armed Manmatha as the fish. https://archive.org/stream/cu31924071128825#page/n715/mode/2up
