Brahma
Brahma is the son of the Supreme Being. According to the myths, Brahma originally possessed only one head. He acquired the other heads when creating woman (Eve created out of Adam's rib). His love for her caused him to follow her wherever she moved, causing the heads to grow facing each direction. When she rose into the sky in despair, a fifth head grew. It was when the God Brahma joined her, that the human race was created. For this Shiva punished Brahma by cutting off his 5th head. Having completed his task of creator, Brahma has now become the lesser God.
Symbols of Brahma:
Four headed face, lotus flower, a sceptre, a spoon, a row of beads and a bowl or container filled with holy water.
