Most hindus are polytheists, some are monists. So it is not correct to say that hindus worship one God. Actually, we have a long list of Gods and Goddesses. The important ones are:

Gods: Shiva, Vishnu (and his 9 incarnations including Rama, Krishna, and Buddha), Ganesha, Kartikeya, Hanuman, etc.

Goddesses: Durga (and her nine forms including Kali), Saraswati, Lakshmi, Parvati, etc.

Answer 2

We worship Lord Krishna.

Krishna is the sanskrit word for God just like Christos is the Greek for Christ. Krishna is considered the Supreme Lord. Krishna is the most opulent, attractive, powerful, and is within everything. Krishna is the absolute truth.

You can also look at The Bhagavad Gita by H.G. A.C. Bhaktivedantaswami Srila Prabhupada. It has the exact words of Lord Krishna and the path you should follow!

Answer 3

When two Hindu individuals utter the term "God," their minds may not be referring to the same divine concept. For several seekers, their God may be the impersonal, formless, eternal, infinite, indescribable reality (Brahman, the closest Sanskrit term in scriptures for "God") that Upanishads comprehensively talk about.

For others, the term God could imply any of the following: the controlling authority or ruler of the universe, the creator, the Supreme Soul (Paramatma), the Personal God, the universal energy (Shakti), the self (purified soul), or any other concept circulated by fellow humans that have realized God.

For the majority of Hindus, "God" refers to a personal or preferred form of the Absolute who has been selected from his various manifestations as described by the Puranas, epics, and legends.

Some followers may worship a single favorite form of God throughout their life; others may choose to worship multiple forms in succession. Regardless of the aspect they adore, a hidden unity exists in their understanding of the Lord in popular Hinduism, which is more often pantheistic.

Though the Divine pervades the entire creation, he, at the same time, is beyond the universe.

(Srimad Bhagavad-Gita, Chapter 9 : Verse 4)

The most common forms of God in current times, revered by almost all Hindus, include Vishnu and his incarnations, Shakti and her manifestations, and Shiva. Traditionally, through widely circulated mythology, Vishnu is seen as our protector or the caretaker who comes to earth to live with us and establish righteousness. Out of his many visits to earth (incarnations), the ones in the form of Rama and Krishna are the most celebrated.

Following the social impact of the devotee saints of the last millennium, Rama and Krishna have become the most loved forms of God for Hindus. Shakti, representing Brahman as primordial energy, is worshipped as the Mother of creation in her many forms like Durga and Kali. … Shiva is the form of Brahman who liberates souls and recycles the universe. Just like Vishnu, many consider him the Supreme Lord. His son Ganesha and incarnation Hanuman are also very dear to the masses.

Excerpted from Devotional Hinduism by M.S. Goel (2008), P. 2.

Hence, Hindus are monotheistic. Many devotees believe that all forms are manifestations of the same Brahman. Others create a hierarchy and see their favorite form (Personal God) as the Supreme God.

Idol Worship:

Worshiping a god within gives absolute peace. However, it can't improve our material world. Therefore, Hindus make idols of these gods and worship them. This keeps them at the junction of the real and imaginary worlds. This enables them to have both wealth and happiness.

Appeasing gods through meditation is undoubtedly the more reliable way of worshiping a god. However, it is extremely difficult. Therefore, they give the idols the shapes that enables us to have the tone of muscles. Rituals enable them to control the tone towards a point more dynamically.
