Brahma
Creation & Knowledge
The Creator in the Trimurti, from whose meditation the universe emerged.
The Mythology
Brahma emerged from the cosmic lotus growing from Vishnu's navel and spoke the universe into being through the sacred Vedas. His four heads recite the four Vedas eternally, representing the omniscience from which all knowledge flows. Yet paradoxically, few temples are dedicated to him—creation, once accomplished, needs no worship.
