Brahma Hindu Deity Statue for Indian Mahadeva God Enthusiasts

Brahma, the creator god in Hinduism's Trimurti, is known for his four faces, each looking in a different direction. He also goes by the names Svayambhu, Vāgīśa, and the creator of the four Vedas, each coming from one of his mouths. Brahma is associated with Prajapati in Vedic mythology, as well as with Kama and Hiranyagarbha. While he is mentioned in post-Vedic Hindu epics and Puranas, he is often combined with Purusha. Brahma is part of the Hindu Trinity along with Vishnu and Shiva, but there are other trinities in ancient Hindu texts that do not include him. Although Brahma is credited as the creator of the universe and its beings, some Puranas describe him as being born from a lotus emerging from Vishnu's navel, while others suggest he is born from Shiva or is a supreme god in various versions of Hindu mythology. Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva are also seen as different forms of Brahman, the ultimate formless reality and cosmic soul in Hinduism.

This figurine of Brahma, seated on a lotus, measures 8" in height, 5.75" in length, and 4.75" in depth. It is made of designer composite resin and hand-painted individually, which is why the color tone may vary from the pictures provided. The statue depicts Brahma with four heads, four faces, and four arms, seated on a lotus. Unlike most Hindu gods, he does not hold a weapon in any of his hands. One hand holds a spoon-shaped scepter, which symbolizes the pouring of holy ghee or oil into a sacrificial pyre, signifying Brahma's role as the lord of sacrifices. Another hand holds a water pot, sometimes depicted as a coconut shell containing water. The water represents the initial ether in which creation began. Brahma also carries a string of malas to keep track of the universe's time and is often depicted holding the Vedas or a lotus flower.

The soda can shown next to the statue in the pictures is not included in the listing; it is only meant to provide a size perspective of the item.
