Kanyakumari wanted to marry Shiva. When Shiva was on his way to marry this goddess the sun rose so he went back home. Kanyakumari was upset that Shiva didn't show up so she cried and it is believed that the sands in the southern area of India are multicolored because this is where she cried(She cried with makeup on).
Lakshmi is the embodiment of the earths wealth and bounty. She is depicted in a pot because back then people use to put valuable things in pots.
Kama is the god of desire.
These Devdutt Pattanaik videos are getting really confusing, This part is titled Devi's secret but I have yet to figure out who this Devi person is or what it means. What I do know though is that this video mainly focused on the idea of desire. It is believed that desire is the reason we are all alive to this day. The creator had a desire to create us.
