Thank you for your comment. You are right in pointing this out. There are very few temples in India dedicated to Lord Brahma. In fact his consort, the goddess Saraswati (the goddess of learning) is worshipped more than Lord Brahma. There are also various stories in Hindu mythology about a curse placed on Lord Brahma by Lord Siva which prevent Lord Brahma from being worshipped on Earth.
Shukriya,
–Madhav

An excellent article. I have one very minor quibble, which is where you say “The three main Hindu Gods who are worshipped, Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva (Shiva)”.

Though these are the three iconic views of God as creator, preserver, and destroyer, Brahma is worshipped very little.
Namaste
Chris
