The Hindu god Brahma, creator of the physical world, can be easily identified by his four faces, which survey the four cardinal directions. He was considered a secondary deity and very few temples are dedicated to him. Here he carries the same attributes as the great god Shiva, including a rosary, flywhisk, water jar, and trident.
