Brahma



Brahma is the first of the three main hindu gods, he is the god of creation. Brahma is the creator he is the one who created all the animals all living and non-living. Brahma is the least worshiped god of the three. In all of india there are only two temples that are devoted to him. Brahma has four heads, many hindus beleive the four heads came from the four vedas, the most acient hindu texts. Some believe that the caste system came from different parts of brahma’s body.  Brahma has four arms and is usually shown with a beard. On view on why Brahma is not worshiped as much is that his role is as the creator, since there is no more creating to do it is left to vishnu to preserve the world and Shiva to continue its course or reincarnation.
