Hindu deities - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Hindu deities"
Within Hinduism a large number of personalities or 'forms' are worshipped as deities or murtis with the belief that these beings are either: aspects of the supreme Brahman; avatars of the supreme being (Bhagavan); or significantly powerful entities known as devas. The exact nature of belief in regards to each deity varies between different Hindu traditions and philosophies. Often these beings are depicted in humanoid or partially humanoid forms complete with a set of unique and complex iconography in each case.
