The Symbolism of Brahma:
In the Hindu pantheon,
Brahma is commonly represented as having four heads, four arms, and red
skin. Unlike all the other Hindu gods, Brahma carries no weapon in his
hands. He holds a water-pot, a spoon, a book of prayers or the Vedas, a
rosary and sometimes a lotus. He sits on a lotus in the lotus pose and
moves around on a white swan, possessing the magical ability to separate
milk from a mixture of water and milk. Brahma is often depicted as
having long white beard, with each of his heads reciting the four Vedas.
