Brahma is the name of the Hindu god associated with creation, knowledge and the Vedas (scriptures). He is part of the godhead that includes Vishnu (one of his avatars is Krishna)
Brahma is usually depicted sitting on a lotus flower. Here, there is a crossover to Buddhism, where the elephant which descended bringing the lotus flower containing the god-seed for Maya’s immaculate conception of Siddhartha Gautama (who became the Buddha).
Note the similarity of Brahma in pronunciation to Ahman (Christianity), and Amun (Egypt).
In Hinduism, Brahman is the highest universal principle and the Ultimate Reality of the universe. It is the non-physical, efficient, formal, and final cause of all that exists. Brahman can be understood as the supreme, eternal, and unchanging spirit, present throughout the entire universe. In Hindu social classes, the term also refers to the highest-ranking group, the Brahmans, who are considered inherently of greater ritual purity and capable of performing vital religious tasks.
