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.
