For Hindus, Brahma is the God who creates the world and the world he creates is known as Brahmanda. This Brahmanda makes our very existence possible and yet, one rarely comes across a temple that's dedicated to Brahma. For Hindus, there are also certain things, certain occurrences, and phenomena that are considered more sacred than others. But who decides what is sacred? Is it the creator? Or are these rules a result of the creator's creation? Read on as Devdutt Pattanaik, the master of mythology, explores Brahma's role in Hindu mythology in Brahma: the Creator.
