There is no one main deity in Hinduism.

However, in Hinduism, Brahman (not to be confused with Brahmā or Brahmin) is the one supreme, universal Spirit that is the origin and support of the phenomenal universe.

Brahman is sometimes referred to as the Absolute or Godhead which is the Divine Ground of all being.

Brahman is conceived as personal ("with qualities"), impersonal ("without qualities") and supreme depending on the philosophical school.
