Brahma

Four-faced deity

In Hinduism, Brahma is the creator god, part of the trinity with Vishnu and Shiva.

Brahma should not be confused with Brahman, the ultimate reality or universal soul in Hindu philosophy.

Brahma is also a brand of Brazilian beer, popular throughout Latin America: We ordered a round of Brahmas. (Lowercase brahma is a chicken breed.)
