Hindu temples and puja offerings dedicated to Brahma are rare because his significance in Hindu mythology receded in favor of Vishnu and Shiva, and Brahma is considered minimally involved in the world. Sectarian movements devoted to Vishnu (Vaishnavism) and Shiva (Shaivism) came to the fore in the development of Hinduism in the first millennium ce, and Brahma’s prominence subsided. Stories in the Puranas suggest that Brahma’s moral lapses are the cause of his lack of worship. There is only one prominent active temple devoted to him in India, located in Pushkar.
