| Depiction of Brahma |
The abode of Brahma is BRAHMALOKA.
He mounts on HANSA (a swan). The wife of Brahma is SARASWATI which is a hindu deity for knowledge, arts, music & speech. Brahma was the first among the Brahmans. At the time of creation he had four sons known as four KUMARAS but they did not follow the Brahma orders to reproduce and instead follows the path to god. Due to this Brahma created ten sons known as MANAS PUTRAS because they all were created from the mind of Brahma.
