The central figure of Hinduism is Brahman. However, it is practically impossible to comprehend, Moreover, it is a status quo maintaining god and therefore a liability in the modern world.
Hindus worship the seven gods under the command of Brahman.


They are,

1. Indra

2. Shakti

3. Brahma

4. Vishnu

5. Shiva

6. Shani

7. Yama


The seven gods put together form Brahman.

Indra is the least materialistic and Yama the most.


1. Vishnu is the central god of Hinduism. However, Vishnu too is a status quo maintaining god. Therefore, the more materialistic incarnations of Vishnu, like Venkateshwara and Krishna are more popular now.


Lakshmi, as consort of Venkateshwara plays a vital role.


2. Shiva, who is more materialistic than Vishnu, too is very popular.


3. In the villages the Shakti god Hanuman and other Shakti goddesses dominate.


4. Ganesha, the son of Shiva to is a popular Hindu god.


5. Yama, symbolically the god of death, and actually the god of abolished actions, is a god for all Hindus, though not worshipped.


Thus, Hinduism revolves around Brahman.
