Rose Tinged Parakeet

The parrot is the ‘vehicle’ of Kama - the Hindu God of love - and is a symbol of spring.

The animator has arranged nine parrots in a manner such that they form a tree, the tree of love. Each parrot appears to be performing a different act of love such as, sharing the forbidden fruit, courtship and getting struck by cupid’s arrow.

The bright, cheerful colour palette of the illustration evokes the vibrancy and joy associated with love and spring.
