Shoutout to MrMojoRisin on the AVID Discord for the original post and idea. Congrats on getting the star If you want to document a logo from India or Nepal but the logo contains a Hindu god/goddess you don't recognize, you've come to the right place... at least I hope because I'm only giving a general idea. Shiva Usually has a snake around him. May also do the tandava. Vishnu Has four arms. Ganesha Has a head of an elephant. Hanuman Has a monkey face (I think) Brahma Commonly depicted as our faces and four arms and also has a beard but may still contain one head. Krishna Plays the flute. Lakshmi Holds two lotuses in her hands. May also have two elephants below her, behind her, or on the sides of her. Durga Rides on a tiger. Holds multiple weapons in her hands (including a Chakra and a Trishul). Saraswati Plays the sitar. Surya Rides on a chariot. Dattatreya Three-headed god surrounded by animals.
