There are many Gods.
Brahman. The other entities called 'gods' are aspects of Brahman. This isn't completely different from the way that some Christians believe that there is one God, and a trinity at the same time.
The supreme god does not have any form or caste and gender,but there are 3 main gods-

  1. Shiva - the destroyer, he destroys the old to create the new.
  2. Brahma- The creator , he had 5 heads, one cut by shiva,he has only one temple and shrine dedicated to him.
  3. Vishnu-THE protector, he takes an avatar(incarnate) to protect every era.he has 10 main avatars also known as dashavtar.
  • matsya-the fish
  • kurma-the turtle
  • varah-the boar
  • nrisinha-half man,half lion
  • vamana-the dwarf
  • parshurama-the bhraman with the Axe.
  • ramachandra-the kind king
  • krishna-the flute bearer or the guru of the bhagavat
  • bhudha- the enlightened one .
  • kalki- the one to come.

Hindus have minor gods called devas.
