What are the three main gods in Indian mythology?

The three gods refer to the three highest gods in Indian mythology: Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu.

1. Brahma is the god of creation and the personification of Brahmanism as the highest ontology of the universe. Generally speaking, Brahma has four heads, four faces and four arms. His four faces symbolize nothingness, and his four arms symbolize four directions: east, west, north and south. They also symbolize the mind (right back arm), wisdom (left back arm), self (right forearm) and self-confidence (left forearm).

In Southeast Asia, China people generally call Brahma the four-faced Buddha. Especially in Thailand, the images of Brahma and Four-faced Buddha have the function of protecting human wealth, so they are widely loved by everyone.

Vishnu is the god of protection, punishing evil and rewarding kindness and compassion. When the world is about to be destroyed by the devil, he will come out to save the world in some incarnation. Indian ancient books or myths and legends often describe him as having four hands, holding a wheel treasure, a magic snail, a fairy wand and a lotus flower respectively. He often lies on a giant snake with lotus flowers on its navel. His mount is a golden-winged bird-Goruda.

3. Shiva is one of the gods with the most complex attributes, which combines the incompatible characteristics of fire and water; It is both a destroyer and a resurrection, a great ascetic and a symbol of lust; There are both kindness to protect all beings and fierce thoughts of revenge.

Shiva is the god of destruction of good and evil, regarded as the highest god in Hinduism, and her main ability is creation (transformation). According to the Buddhist scriptures, Shiva lives at the top of the color world and is the Lord of the three thousand worlds. Later, she became the god of tantric dharma.

Although Shiva dominates destruction, Indians believe in regeneration and creation brought about by destruction, so he is deeply loved by Christians.
