It is believed that Indra gave the bow to Kamdev to bring back Shiva into the world.
When Shiva entered into deep meditation after the death of Sati, there was imbalance in the world and creation came to a stand still without Shiva and Shakti. So Indra gave the bow to Kamdev to create passion in Shiva.
The God of love uses it to evoke love, affection, attachment and lust in men and women.
