I’ve tried a pretty diverse selection of search terms and sites, but without real success. The information I’ve found agrees fairly definitively that there are 33 (named) gods & goddesses in the Hindu pantheon (alternatively, there are also supposed to be 330 million - gleaned from Wikipedia). I understand the concept of avatars, and the assertion that there is a single underlying reality, even if it’s not real understanding on my part. Continuing with my pursuit of the superficial, :dubious: I’d like to acquire a complete list of those 33.
I’ve checked sites like Hindu Universe, including this page , which only lists 15, and struggled to assimilate what’s there. There’s also a list of planet deities (9) and animal deities (4), for a total of 28.
Sites like that are clearly designed for worshippers and seekers. I am neither, but I’m not a complete ignoramus, either. I’ve done some reading about India and its people, mostly about the people. And I’ve known a few. That, however, doesn’t help with the current quest.

I just want information. It would be useful if the list also came with gender, attributes, and what the deity rules over (like that list of the 15 major deities). Can anyone help me, please?
