The Hindu gods are part of a vast and intricate pantheon, with key deities often organized into family relationships. At the top is Brahma, the creator, followed by Vishnu, the preserver, and Shiva, the destroyer, forming the Trimurti, the three principal gods in Hinduism. Vishnu's consort is Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, while Shiva’s consort is Parvati, who has multiple incarnations, including Durga and Kali. Together, they have children like Ganesha (the remover of obstacles) and Kartikeya (the god of war). The family tree is a symbolic representation of divine roles in the cosmic cycle.
