The Hindu god of creation is Lord Brahma. In Hindu religion, Brahma is one of the principal deities in the Trimurti, which consists of three major gods responsible for the creation, preservation, and destruction of the universe. Brahma is specifically associated with the creation aspect of the universe, while Lord Vishnu is responsible for preservation, and Lord Shiva is responsible for destruction. Brahma is often depicted with four heads, four faces, and four arms, and he is sometimes shown riding on a swan. However, Brahma is not as widely worshiped as Vishnu and Shiva in contemporary Hinduism, and there are relatively few temples dedicated to him compared to the other major deities.
