Brahma

Brahma is a significant deity in Hinduism, known as the creator god in the Trimurti, which includes Vishnu the preserver and Shiva the destroyer. Often depicted with four faces representing the four Vedas (sacred texts), Brahma symbolizes knowledge and the origin of the universe. Despite his importance, Brahma is less commonly worshipped in modern Hindu practice compared to Vishnu and Shiva. In broader philosophical terms, Brahman refers to the ultimate reality or universal spirit that underlies and unites all existence. Thus, Brahma represents both the creative aspect of divinity and the larger, all-encompassing reality in Hindu thought.
