Brahmā is the Hindu god (deva) of
creation and one of the Trimurti, the others being Vishnu and Shiva. According to the Brahma
Puran , he is the father of Manu, and from Manu all human beings are descended. In the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, he is often referred to as the progenitor or great
grandsire of all human beings. He is not to be confused with the Supreme Cosmic
Spirit in Hindu Vedānta philosophy known as Brahman, which is genderless. Brahmā's wife is Saraswati. Saraswati is also known by names such as savitri and Gaytri and has taken different forms throughout history. Brahmā
is often identified as vedic deity.
Being the husband of Sarswati or Vaac Devi (the Goddess of Speech), Brahma is also
known as "Vaagish," meaning "Lord of Speech and Sound."
Brahma is the creator of the universe and of all beings, as depicted in
the Hindu cosmology. The Vedas the oldest hindu scripts. He is not to be confused with Brahman which is a general term for the Supreme Being or Almighty
God. Although Brahma is one of the Trinity, his popularity is no match to that
of Vishnu and Shiva. Brahma is to be found to exist more in scriptures than in
homes and temples. In fact it is hard to find a temple dedicated to Brahma. One
such temple is located in Pushkar in Rajasthan
