Wooden Rati Figure

The Rati figures are central to the Kaman Pandigai festival in Karnataka, a celebration of love and fertility. Rati, the goddess of love, is worshipped alongside her consort Kama during this festival, which includes rituals symbolizing the union of divine energies. Sculptures of Rati are paraded and venerated, reflecting the region's rich tapestry of mythology and seasonal festivities.
