According to another mythological legend, the god of Love, Kamdev, was reduced to ashes by the fire of the third eye of Lord Shiva for disturbing his meditation. Kamdeva\u2019s wife, Rati, pleaded before Lord Shiva to revive him. Although the lord revived him, his beauty was gone. Kamdeva started worshipping the sacred Yoni Mudra in Nilachal Parvat to gain his beauty. After years of meditation, he gained his beauty by the blessing of the Kamakhya Devi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
