Answer 2

I think Brahama had four heads and Vishnu has four arms....

Brahma is depicted as red in color with four heads, bearded faces, and four arms. His hands hold a kamandalu, his bow or a rosary, a sacrificial ladle, and the Vedas. Brahma is sometimes depicted as sitting on a lotus. The four Vedas are said to have originated from his head. The four castes (see Varna) are also believed to have originated from Brahma: the Brahmins from his head, the Kshatriyas from his arms, the Vaishyas from his thighs, and the Shudras from his feet.

Although Brahma is considered equal to Vishnu and Shiva, he is currently not widely worshipped. There are only two temples in India dedicated to him, one at Pushkar near Ajmer in Rajasthan, and the other at Khedabrahma in Kerala. However, he is only worshipped by sanyasi (see Ashram). Apart from these temples, there are also some verses describing which are chanted by Brahmins every morning.
