Brahma
ब्रह्मा
The creator of the universe and lord of knowledge
Brahma is the creator god in the Hindu Trimurti. He is depicted with four heads facing the four cardinal directions, representing his knowledge of the four Vedas. He created the universe from the cosmic waters, producing all living beings from his body. Despite his cosmic role, Brahma has very few temples dedicated to him — the Pushkar temple in Rajasthan being the most famous — partly due to various mythological curses. His consort is Saraswati, goddess of wisdom.
