Hindu gods are deities worshipped in the Hindu religion, which is one of the oldest religions in the world. They represent various aspects of life, nature, and the universe. Major gods include Brahma, the creator; Vishnu, the preserver; and Shiva, the destroyer. Each god has unique attributes and stories, often depicted in art and literature. Devotees worship these gods through rituals, prayers, and festivals. Many gods have avatars, or incarnations, such as Rama and Krishna, who are considered forms of Vishnu. The diverse pantheon reflects the rich cultural and spiritual heritage of Hinduism.
