Deities and Gods of India (Part 1)

La India It would not be the same in case of lacking all that mythological beauty on which its beliefs are based, following most of these in force until today despite having adopted many cultural trends both of its colonization by England and also of the such influential American media. Let's focus on knowing some of the most interesting features of the own myths of India, being what we present here only a small sample of centuries of culture.

Among some important deities of India we find Aditi, the mother and feminine goddess par excellence (daughter of Daksha, wife of Kashiapa and mother of the Āditiás). It is worth mentioning that this goddess is considered as the dispenser of food for survival.

We should also mention vishvakarma, considered as the deity of artisans and architects, and for that reason he is called the Architect of the Universe.

Besides, let us also bear in mind that these are not found alone if they are gods in India, like other cultures we can notice the presence of other minors. Example of the above is Kamadeva, the Hindu god of love. We must also highlight Time, one of the main goddesses of India. It is about the goddess of destruction and violence. You will be interested to know that she is the patron saint of Calcutta, and that she has a temple dedicated to her honor in the city. It is about the Kalighat Temple. It is worth mentioning that both deities are a display of opposing powers.
