Above answer is incorrect and misleading The sanskrit word 'koti' has 2 meanings 1)100 million 2) type The line that 'Hindus have 33 koti gods' is wrongly translated as 'Hindus have 330 million Gods' It should mean 'Hindus have Gods of 33 types' ,going by the second meaning of word 'koti' My random estimate is that there should be around 100-200 Gods for Hindus.

This means that every Hindu can have a god, specifically designed for him. However, theoretically, there can be just seven gods and seven goddesses in Hinduism. Practically, they are lesser.THE BASIC HINDU GODS:They are,1. Indra - god of dreaming2. Shakti - goddess of illusion3. Brahma - god of creativity4. Vishnu - god of stabilization5. Shiva - God of determination6. Shani - god of status change7. Yama - god of compulsionThe seven gods merge to form the supreme Hindu god Brahman. Conversely, the seven gods spring from Brahman.The peripheral gods give less control over our lives but are more powerful. They are meant to be used as a last resort.Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are main line Hindu gods. Shani and Shakti are second choice. Indra and Yama are supposed to play a role after our death only.BRAHMAN, GODS AND GODDESSES:All the seven gods are made of two elements viz. Saguna Brahman (facilitating force, Purusha, masculine) and Nirguna Brahman (retarding force, Prakriti, feminine). The Prakriti component of a god is what we call goddess.THE GODDESSES:Theoretically, there can be seven Hindu goddesses. However, the consorts of Brahma (Saraswati), Vishnu (Lakshmi) and Shiva (Parvati) and Shakti are the only goddesses. A Hindu depends on Shakti when he is totally helpless.Shakti is considered as feminine even though it has a masculine component. This belief is necessary to prevent the seven gods merging to form Brahman, which would remove our belief in god, because Brahman is absolute fact. Thus, there are just six Hindu gods, though there can be seven.BRAHMAN:Brahman, though considered as the supreme Hindu god, is absolute fact and thus not exactly a god. It is considered as god because all Hindu gods are derived from it. Unlike a god, it doesn't bring about any change in our life and just opposes changes in life. Thus, it can be used only when our life is perfect.Therefore, no Hindu worships Brahman.Thus, there are six gods and four goddesses and a Supreme god in Hinduism. All other gods and goddesses are secondary, derived from the basic Hindu gods and goddesses.
Do Hindus believe in 3 or 1 gods?
In Hinduism, it is believed that 'Brahman' is the one supreme, universal Spirit that is the origin and support of the phenomenal universe. It is said that Hindus believe there are 33 million deities. In the Vedas, Thirty-three gods are listed. This is followed by the Sanskrit word 'Koti', which is used for "class" but can also be used for a number equal to 10 million. According to one view, some scholars misinterpreted the word 'Koti' - which is meant to mean "class", claiming that there are 33 million gods within Hinduism. Another view contends that 33 million is a figure symbolizing infinity, indicating infinite forms of God.

How many gods are worshiped in India?
those gods alone know that!!!!!......... Why should one worship only one God. Does anybody knows for sure? What if Gods and Goddesses do not exist at all? Some hindus are atheists. The Hindu Gods and Goddesses respect each other and so do their worshipers. Hindus do not cut each other's throat for this reason. Hindu Gods and Goddesses derive from three religious streams. The aboriginals, they had village Gods and Goddesses. Then the dravidians, who were worshiping Shiva, Durga the Mother Goddess, Rama, Krishna, etc. These Gods and Goddesses do not find any mention in the Vedas. From the Aryan Gods and Goddesses, Vishnu, Indra, Rudra, Vayu, Varuna, Prajapati, Brahaspati, Ashwins, Saraswati, etc. survived the times. Hindus worship all these Gods. They did not break the idols of Gods and Goddesses of others.
