Priti (goddess)
Hindu goddess of affection
Priti (Sanskrit: प्रीति, romanized: prīti, lit. 'joy'), also known as Karnotpala, is a Hindu goddess.[1] She is one of the two consorts of the god of love, Kamadeva, along with Rati.[2]
Priti is regarded to represent affectionate love, while her co-wife, Rati, represents sensual pleasure.[3] In other interpretations, Priti is regarded to be merely an epithet of Rati.[4]
