Lord Brahma is the creator God of the Trinity or trimurty. He appears seated on a lotus, which is a symbol of glorious existence. He has four heads as well as four hands. Each hand is holding a sacrificial tool or sruva, the Vedas or knowledge, a water pot or kamandalu and a rosary respectively. Thus it can be said as Lord Brahma is the first member of the Brahmanical triad, Vishnu being the second and Shiva, the third. Brahma is the god of creation and he is traditionally accepted as the Creator of the entire universe.

His vehicle is a swan or Hans, which is known for its judgment between good and bad. Lord Brahma`s accompany is Goddess Saraswati, the Goddess of Learning.

Destruction and creation go hand in hand. They are like two sides of a coin. For example, the destruction of morning is creation of noon and the destruction of noon is creation of night. This chain of continuous destruction and construction maintains the day. Similarly, the destruction of childhood is the creation of youth and the destruction of youth the creation of old age. In this process of birth and death the individual is maintained in a proper way. Hence the three gods of the Trinity viz. Brahma, Vishnu and Siva representing creation, maintenance and destruction, are essentially one and the same.

There is only one Brahma temple at Pushkar in Rajasthan dedicated to Brahma situated in Pushkar valley. This somewhat somnolent town reverberates with hectic activity during the festivities. This temple is an important pilgrim centre for the Hindus.
