*Brahma is the God of Creation and one of the Trinity*
Brahma is the God of Creation (Deva) and one of the Trinity, the others being Vishnu and Shiva.
In Vedanta, Puranas, and philosophy, the Supreme Being, known as Brahman, is his consort, Saraswati, the goddess of learning. Brahman is often associated with the Vedic deity Prajapati.

At the beginning of the process of creation, Brahma created eleven Prajapatis, believed to be the progenitors of the human race. Brahma is known as the creator of the universe.
He is the fundamental member of the Trinity, which also includes Vishnu, the preserver, and Shiva, the destroyer. Together, these three deities represent the functions of creation, preservation, and destruction, respectively.
Brahma's role as the creator emphasizes his importance in the grand scheme of things.
Brahma's divine vehicle or vehicle is the sacred swan known as the hamsa. He has the extraordinary ability to bestow numerous blessings not only on gods and humans but also on beings such as demons known as asuras. Interestingly, demons are also said to have originated from various parts of his divine body. To explain, the demon race is believed to have been brought into existence from the feet of Brahma himself.
The Manusmriti lists these as Marichi, Atri, Angirasa, Pulastya, Pulaha, Kratuja, Vasishtha, Prasetas or the sons of Daksha, Bhrigu and Narada. To help him create the universe, he created seven great sages or Saptarishis, all of whom were born from Brahma's mind, not his body.
According to the Puranas, Brahma was self-born (without a mother) in a lotus flower that grew from the navel of Vishnu at the beginning of the universe. This explains his name as Nabhija (born from the navel). Brahma, who was born in water, is also known as Kanja (born in water).
Although Brahma is one of the most important gods in religion, in contrast to the thousands of temples dedicated to the other gods of the Trimurti, Shiva and Vishnu, there are very few temples dedicated solely to Brahma in India today.
The most famous is in Pushkar, Rajasthan.
Other temples include:-
One known as Kheteshwar Brahmadham Tirtha in Asotra village in Balotra taluk of Barmer district of Rajasthan, Brahma-Karmali village in Sattari taluk of Goa, Sringeri, Kalathagiri in Karnataka,
one in Khed Brahma in Gujarat and one in Khokhan village in Kullu valley, 4 km from Bhuntar.
"Guru Brahma Guru Vishnu" is a popular verse, a sacred verse, praising the Guru as the embodiment of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.
