There are only two temples in the whole of India devoted to him, compared with the many thousands devoted to the other two) <http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/hinduism/deities/brahma.shtml> Wikipedia, May 29, 2018: Brahma (Brahma (Sanskrit IAST transliteration: Brahmā) is a creator god in Hinduism) Belarusian version (Брахма = Brakhma; also Брама = Brama) Bulgarian version (Брахма = Brakhma) Catalan version (Brama or Brahma) Greek version (Βράχμα = Vrachma) Esperanto version (Brahmao) Hebrew version (ברהמה = Brahmah) Japanese version (ブラフマー = Burafumā) Uzbek version (Braxma [in roman]) Vietnamese version (Phạm Thiên) Chinese version (梵天 = Fan Tian) |
