1. Lord Shiva
Known as Mahadev (the Great God), Shiva is one of the principal deities in Hinduism and represents destruction, transformation, and regeneration. He is widely revered across India as Shambhu, Bholenath, and Neelkanth. He is often depicted with a third eye, the crescent moon, the Ganga flowing from his locks, and holding the Trishula and Damaru. Shiva’s cosmic dance (Tandava) symbolizes the rhythm of the universe. With Parvati (Shakti), he embodies the balance of masculine and feminine energies.

2. Lord Vishnu
The preserver in the Hindu Trimurti, Vishnu maintains cosmic order and dharma. He descends in various avatars, such as Rama and Krishna, to restore balance when evil prevails. He is shown with blue skin, four arms holding a chakra (mind), shankha (sound), gada (power), and lotus (purity). With his consort Lakshmi, he represents abundance and sustenance.

3. Lord Rama
An avatar of Vishnu and the protagonist of the Ramayana, Rama is the ideal man (Maryada Purushottam) and a symbol of virtue, duty, and justice. His exile, the abduction of Sita, and his victory over Ravana highlight his commitment to dharma. Rama’s reign in Ayodhya (Ram Rajya) is considered the golden age of governance.

4. Lord Krishna
Another avatar of Vishnu, Krishna is a complex and beloved figure, known for his divine play (leelas), profound teachings in the Bhagavad Gita, and his eternal love for Radha. Born in Mathura and raised in Gokul, Krishna’s life represents joy, compassion, wisdom, and the power of devotion.

5. Lord Brahma
The creator of the universe, Brahma emerged from a lotus growing from Vishnu’s navel. Depicted with four heads, he symbolizes the four Vedas and all-encompassing knowledge. Though vital in the cosmic cycle, Brahma is rarely worshipped today, with Pushkar housing one of the few temples dedicated to him.
6. Lord Ganesha
The elephant-headed son of Shiva and Parvati, Ganesha is the remover of obstacles and the god of beginnings and wisdom. Created by Parvati and later revived by Shiva with an elephant’s head, he is worshipped before all important events. His symbols—a goad, noose, modak, and blessing hand—represent his spiritual roles.

7. Lord Hanuman
A devotee of Rama and a central figure in the Ramayana, Hanuman is the embodiment of strength, devotion, and courage. Born to Anjana and blessed by Vayu, Hanuman’s feats—leaping across oceans, lifting mountains, and burning Lanka—showcase his divine power. He is worshipped for protection, valor, and perseverance.

8. Lord Kartikeya
Also known as Murugan or Skanda, Kartikeya is the god of war and son of Shiva and Parvati. He is the slayer of the demon Tarakasura. Depicted riding a peacock and holding a spear (Vel), he symbolizes courage, discipline, and destruction of ego. He is especially revered in South India.
9. Lord Surya
Surya, the Sun God, is one of the Navagrahas and represents life, energy, and knowledge. Riding a chariot of seven horses, he governs health, vitality, and enlightenment. Festivals like Makar Sankranti are dedicated to him, and he is seen as the source of time and cosmic order.
10. Lord Indra
The king of the heavens and ruler of rain and storms, Indra wields the thunderbolt (Vajra) and rides the white elephant Airavata. Though powerful, his stories often explore his human traits—pride, jealousy, and redemption. As a deity of weather and agriculture, he plays a crucial role in ancient Vedic worship.
These gods are not just symbols of supernatural power—they are embodiments of virtues, cosmic principles, and the eternal truths of the Hindu worldview. Through our designs at MYTHIC, one of India’s fastest-growing mythology streetwear brands, we honor their stories and carry forward their legacy in wearable art.
